Re: [asterisk-users] Is 1.2.12.1 production ready
No need for a religious argument! But my OS has been ordained by GOD! j/k I have, on occasion, had to reboot Linux CentOS 3.x with Asterisk 1.2.10, but certainly not daily, once a week or longer. Only when something is obviously insane. I run Tao Linux on a number of the asterisk boxes I administer, and it's basically the same thing as CentOS. To get it to the point of useable stability, I had to disable probably about 20 or so useless processes that are running by default. Before I disabled these processes, I did have to schedule weekly reboots. I'm now able to keep it running continuously running without hiccups with all the versions of asterisk that I mentioned previously in this thread. The only reboots I have are for occasional security updates, about once every few months or so. I also did run CVS-HEAD (pre 1.2) in production at one point, and that WAS pretty hairy as far as stability is concerned. When I did that, I did have to run cron scripts to restart asterisk, but not the whole system. I definitely agree with other posters in this thread that reboots are generally NOT the answer, at least as a long term solution. Just from anecdotal experience, it seems more likely that you'll run into problems at boot time than if you leave the system running and just restart certain offending processes. - Noah ___ --Bandwidth and Colocation provided by Easynews.com -- asterisk-users mailing list To UNSUBSCRIBE or update options visit: http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users

Are you suggesting that periodic reboots are only wise if you're running 1.2.12.1, or does that go for any asterisk installation? - .Dustin On Oct 16, 2006, at 10:54 PM, Mike Lynchfield wrote: reboots are wise On 10/16/06, Tom Vile [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: fine for me here since it came out.

Before that they were running 1.2.11, no cron reboots, no issues. Before that 1.2.10, no cron reboots, no issues. Before that, etc, etc. Last time I've seen any real problem that would cause asterisk to stop working was 1.2.2 which had a major bug. - Noah On 10/17/06, Faris Raouf [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Just in case it helps anyone: We had 1.2.12.1 crashing on us on a daily basis, and sometimes several times a day.

Not to downplay legitimate issues, but many times, instabilities can easily be attributed to the OS, hardware or a million other things not caused by asterisk. I agree. However, there seems to be some randomness involved as well. For example, one of my production machines now has an Asterisk uptime of almost 8 weeks on 1.2.10. Before that it had a week full of crashes, typically 2-3 times a day. Same version, same configuration. I was planning on fixing it, but then suddenly it started behaving without my intervention, reinstall or anything. Why, is beyond me. I'm keeping my fingers crossed. So far I've had excellent luck with 1.2.5 -- 8 months of uptime till reboot. No crashes ever. Still, an 8 week uptime isn't great IMO. The same machine has no issues running thttpd or qmail for 12+ months without a hiccup. So it's hard to blame it on the hardware because no other program seems to crash randomly on the same machine. --Luki ___ --Bandwidth and Colocation provided by Easynews.com -- asterisk-users mailing list To UNSUBSCRIBE or update options visit: http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users
