No message in cli

Asterisk Asterisk Support
1

Hi,

I started my * experience with asterisk@home 2.0 on a dedicated server.
I configured all and it worked well.

Now, I want to migrate all this configuration to my Gentoo server.
All seems to work fine, but, I have no info message in cli.
On asterisk@home, I could see (with colors), all calls passed.
If I set debug, I have all debug informations, but that’s not what I want.

Any idea please ?

Thanks

PS : sorry for my bad english. As you can see, it’s not my native language :wink:

I’m so stupid.

I just had to start cli mode with verbose level.

In fact, asterisk init script from AAH is different from Gentoo. It already have the -vvv option.
But, if I had this option in my /etc/conf.d/asterisk, the init script doesn’t launch it as a daemon.
So I just have now to start cli by asterisk -c -vvv, but, I have no color on this one :frowning:
I don’t know why.

depends on how you start it. You can always invoke it from the CLI by typing set verbose 3, that will give you the output for call processing.

4

Yes, but with no color…

5

are you using the safe_asterisk script to start it? Are you using an init script (so you can do service asterisk start)? You can add to either one,
export TERM=vt100 to either one near the top and you will get your color back!

No safe_asterisk, just init script from gentoo package.
I had export TERM=vt100 in the script, but no more color.

Here is this script :

[code]#!/sbin/runscript

            fi
            if [[ -n "${GROUP}" ]]; then
                    ASTERISK_OPTS="${ASTERISK_OPTS} -G ${GROUP}"
                    GROUP=":${GROUP}"       # make it look nice...
            fi
            ebegin "Starting asterisk PBX (as ${USER}${GROUP})"
    else
            ebegin "Starting asterisk PBX (as root)"
    fi
            start-stop-daemon --start --exec /usr/sbin/asterisk \
                    ${OPTS} -- ${ASTERISK_OPTS}
    eend $?

}

stop() {
ebegin "Stopping asterisk PBX"
start-stop-daemon --stop --pidfile /var/run/asterisk/asterisk.pid
eend $?
}[/code]

But it is very specific to gentoo.

i think perhaps asterisk has to run on a TTY to get color?

8

I don’t know at all.

I’ll put a bug in gentoo tracker.

9

its not really a bug as much as a config issue… you need to tell asterisk to run on TTYx. Its a command line option as i recall.

10

So it is a bug from the gentoo init script :wink:

I don’t have to modify this script. It comes from gentoo ebuild for asterisk.

11

ahh :smiley:

12

:smile:

I never thought it was a asterisk bug, because all is fine in asterisk@home, but not with gentoo package, same version 1.2.

But my english is so bad that I’m usualy not understood :wink:
