Hi,
It works great, thanks!

Now that there is hot reconnect is there a possiblity to make ser
start without a database running? I am thinking about a scenario where
there is a network loss and my redundant opensers are restarting and
the database is restarting too but with some lag. In this scenario at
the moment of openser starting, the db is unavailable but it comes up
in 1-2 seconds after that. I guess hot reconnect will make things work
so there will not be the need to have the database online at the
moment of starting openser.
At present i cannot make ser start if there is a module requiring a db
and the db server is down.

I had the same issue and solved it by using one of those process monitoring tools. In particular I'm using the monit tool that tries to start the openser process(es) several times at a given interval. So if for some reason the DB, in my case mysql-cluster, is not ready, monit will wait a minute and try to start openser again. After a complete cluster shutdown it normally takes quite a while for the cluster to come up again.

This is how my monitrc looks like:

set logfile syslog facility log_daemon

set httpd port 888
        ssl enable
        pemfile /etc/monit/monit.pem
        allow rtc:"xxx"

check process openser with pidfile /var/run/openser/openser.pid
        start program = "/etc/init.d/openser start"
        stop program = "/etc/init.d/openser stop"
        if 3 restarts within 4 cycles then timeout
        group sipserver

check process mediaproxy with pidfile /var/run/mediaproxy.pid
        start program = "/etc/init.d/mediaproxy start"
        stop program = "/etc/init.d/mediaproxy stop"
        if 3 restarts within 4 cycles then timeout
        group sipserver

check process ami_proxy with pidfile /var/run/ami_proxy.pl.pid
        start program = "/etc/init.d/ami_proxy start"
        stop program = "/etc/init.d/ami_proxy stop"
        if 3 restarts within 4 cycles then timeout
        group sipserver

check process mysqld with pidfile /var/run/mysqld/mysqld.pid
        group database

Hi Dimo,

yes, there is a mechanism for hot reconnect to the mysql server. By
default it is turned on.
see:
