Greeting all,
I am in a bit of a pickle… It seems our PBX likes to crash 2-3 times a day. By crash, I mean all the lines “unregister” and the web page becomes unavailable, but people on the phones can continue talking until the call is completed.
My Engineer and I both believe it has to do with the following error:
pbx_spool.c:309 safe_append: Unable to set utime on /var/spool/asterisk/outgoing/243.call: Operation not permitted
We wrote a little perl script that my call center software uses. It creates the etx.call file locally, then does a mv to the outgoing folder. Essentially a “power dialer”.
So all 65 stations, making 35-60 calls an hour each with this error seems to be bogging down the system. (At least that is what we think).
I read on a different forum someone said I can put a usleep(500); in the pbx_spool.c file to give the system enough time to write the file, which should fix the issue, but I cannot find the pbx_spool.c file to make the change.
So my questions are:
-
is that error really the cause of the crashing, as nothing else seems to be wrong.
-
where can I find pbx_spool.c?
