[Freeswitch-users] FreeSWITCH process dies

[Steven Ayre]

I'd recommend you examine the 'dmesg' command output. Look for lines that
indicate a segfault or general protection fault occurred, eg:

[16203366.364647] freeswitch[949]: segfault at 7f170000001a ip 7f171a86c34b
sp 4c32ce20 error 4 in libc-2.7.so[7f171a7f6000+14a000]

By default coredumps (if enabled) get written to the current working
directory of freeswitch as the user it's running as - so it needs to be
writeable by that user. They'll generally either be called core or core.PID.

To get a coredump start freeswitch with the -core option. This is
equivalent to starting freeswitch with 'ulimit -c unlimited' in effect (on
systems supporting setrlimit).

Once you have a coredump you can collect a backtrace and attach that to the
Jira ticket. That shows what FS was doing when the crash occurred.
http://wiki.freeswitch.org/wiki/Reporting_Bugs#Creating_A_Backtrace_With_gdb_.28Linux.2FUnix.29

Before raising a Jira upgrade to the latest version of the master branch
and try to reproduce the crash there, just in case you're hitting a bug
that's already been fixed. If it's fixed there and not in the latest
version of the v1.2.stable branch that would also be useful to know.
