.SH NAME
|
|
.B safe_asterisk
|
|
\(em A wrapper to run the asterisk executable in a loop
|
|
.SH SYNOPSIS
|
|
.PP
|
|
.B safe_asterisk
|
|
.I [ asterisk_params ]
|
|
|
|
.SH DESCRIPTION
|
|
.B safe_asterisk
|
|
is a script that runs asterisk in a loop, which can be useful if you
|
|
fear asterisk may crash.
|
|
|
|
The script does not run in the background like a standard service. Rather,
|
|
it runs in its own linux virtual console (9, by default).
|
|
It also uses the option '\-c' of asterisk(8) to avoid detaching asterisk
|
|
from that terminal.
|
|
|
|
safe_asterisk also runs asterisk with unlimited core file size, and thus
|
|
asterisk will dump core in case of a crash.
|
|
|
|
To get a "picture" of console 9, from another terminal (e.g: from a
|
|
remote shell session) you can use:
|
|
|
|
screendump 9
|
|
|
|
The init script of the Debian package should be able to run safe_asterisk
|
|
as the asterisk service, if so configured. See comments in
|
|
/etc/default/asterisk
|
|
|
|
.SH FILES
|
|
.B /tmp
|
|
.RS
|
|
safe_asterisk runs in that directory, rather than in / as usual.
|
|
.RE
|
|
|
|
.B /tmp/core
|
|
.RS
|
|
If core files were generated there, they may be
|
|
.RE
|
|
|
|
.B /etc/asterisk/startup.d
|
|
.RS
|
|
Files in this directory will be 'source'd by the safe_asterisk script before
|
|
it starts Asterisk proper, allowing them to set additional environment variables
|
|
or run any other steps that are needed for your system.
|
|
.RE
|
|
|
|
.SH BUGS
|
|
While showing the output on a console is useful, using screen(1) as
|
|
the terminal may be better.
|
|
|
|
The script does not read configuration from standard location under /etc
|
|
|
|
It uses fixed locations under /tmp , and thus may be exposed to a
|
|
symlink attacks.
