I bet the email app you are using to write this email is using more ram than that chart depicts.

However, I talked with one of my other guys this evening and found out he put in a cron job that was supposed to kill FS and restart it every day at 3am. I think there was something wrong with how he did it and FS wasn't restarting properly. I've removed that job and we'll see how long we last. I'm still concerned about the ever increasing memory usage though. I would think that if it doesn't level off, eventually something has to give. Here's what I have for a memory usage graph so far. As you can see, memory usage is constantly climbing. I wouldn't think this would be normal. Since I updated to 1.0.4pre5, I've made a couple test calls to make sure the IVR was working correctly. Other than that, the system hasn't been used since the update about 11 hours ago.

I also recommend you join us on IRC. We run conference.freeswitch.org<http://conference.freeswitch.org> with many participants in a conference all day long without any problems and we usually keep it up to date every few days when we remember to do so. We do not see any memory leaks. http://wiki.freeswitch.org/wiki/Reporting_Bugs If freeswitch exits like you say it'll have a core file which you can run gdb on and it will tell us why it crashed usually. /b On Apr 24, 2009, at 6:36 PM, Charles Boening wrote:
Brian,
Thanks for the quick reply.
I'm using FS for a conference server. We have just one conference room for internal use. It is connected via a SIP registration to our MetaSwitch. That registration allows multiple calls on the same registration. I could do a SIP trunk but this was quick and easy to setup.
I'm concerned that FS quit unexpectedly a few time (pre4 not pre5) and that's how I got to poking around. Sounds like maybe I'm being a little alarmist. It's just harsh when the boss asks why the conference room isn't working. :)
I'll see if I can get something setup to monitor memory usage over time. I'm just concerned that over time memory will keep increasing and increasing and that's what caused the process to crash.
What would you suggest to try and track down why the FS process would suddenly stop working (not in process list even)?
