I useing trixbox 2.2 with a2billing1.3. Now,i have a problem:

Code:

[root@asterisk1 callback-daemon]# service a2billing-callback-daemon start
Starting a2billing-callback-daemon:                        [  OK  ]
[root@asterisk1 callback-daemon]# service a2billing-callback-daemon status
a2billing-callback-daemon is stopped
[root@asterisk1 callback-daemon]#

The a2billing log:

Code:

[2007-09-28 6:45:49] : TRY TO FIND PENDING CALLBACK
 ** Number of PENDING callbacks 0 **

[2007-09-28 6:45:50] : TRY TO FIND PENDING CALLBACK
 ** Number of PENDING callbacks 0 **

[2007-09-28 6:45:59] : TRY TO FIND PENDING CALLBACK

It seems the rc script supplied doesn't correctly report if the daemon is running or not, and also it looks like it will fail to kill it when asked to stop the service.

Looking at the timestamps in that logfile I would say you currently have two instances of the callback daemon running.

if you:

Code:

tail -F /var/log/asterisk/a2billing-daemon-callback.log

you should see 1 new line every tens seconds. I think you're going to see 2 in quick succession.

If you:

Code:

pidof -x a2billing-callback-daemon

it should return a list of PIDs of the running instances of the daemon. Kill one of them.

We shall have to look at getting both this SysV init script, and the Gentoo init script fixed in this regard.

Yep. You are right. And sometimes, if you restart your server, the daemon do not start automatically whether it is started before or after other dependent daemon like mysql daemon.

Anyway, I have modified the rc script for gentoo and it is working perfectly for me. It detects when it is already started and when you stop it or zap it, it behave as expected.

I will submit it to the trac tonight.

I look forward to that, asiby. It will save me the bother.

Hi

Sorry for the delay.

Here is my version of it:

Code:

#!/sbin/runscript

#
# copy this script in /etc/init.d/a2bcallback
#

depend() {
        need net logger asterisk
        after mysql
}

start() {
        ebegin "Starting A2B Callback"
        /var/lib/asterisk/a2billing/callback-daemon/a2billing-callback-daemon start > /dev/null 2>&1
        touch /var/lock/subsys/a2billing-callback
        eend $? "Failed to start A2B Callback"
}

stop() {
        ebegin "Stopping A2B Callback"
        /var/lib/asterisk/a2billing/callback-daemon/a2billing-callback-daemon stop > /dev/null 2>&1
        sleep 1
        killall -q -9 a2billing-callback-daemon > /dev/null 2>&1
        rm -f /var/lock/subsys/a2billing-callback
        eend $? "Failed to stop A2B Callback"
}

On Gentoo, you need to use rc-update, rc-status, and rc-config to manage this kind of start-up scripts.

For example,

Code:

rc-config add your_script default

will add your_script to the default runlevel.

Notice that I have made sure that the script will be executed after mysql has be started. Without that, the daemon was generating some errors and was aborting execution.

Let me know if this is working for you.

Asiby, I took the liberty of adding 'postgres' to the 'after' clause and pushed this change into svn. The experience on Gentoo is now flawless as far as I can tell.

Has anyone looked at the SysV init script to see why it incorrectly reports status, and seems to permit launching more than one copy of the daemon? I don't currently have anything other than Gentoo available to me for testing.

Thanks Stravos.

Just a wild guess about SysV init script. When Gentoo was having the same problem, I had noticed that the pid file was not present on the system even with the daemon running. I have to mcGiver my way around it by creating one.
