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.

Hi,

Turn debug on ( fsctl loglevel 7 ) and check for coredumps on your system ( ulimit -c ).

Hi,

 

In last 2 days, I have observed that FreeSWITCH process, after being up for about a day or so, dies unexpectedly. This has happened twice, on two different servers. There is no indication of failure in freeswitch log.

 

I am using a 32-bit Ubuntu, with FreeSWITCH version being FreeSWITCH Version 1.3.13b.

 

Any clues on how to debug this?

 

Thanks!

 

With regards,

Sirish
