Hi all, I'm trying to do the following scenario. I've created an Inbound socket. I issue the following command in the Inbound ESL api originate {origination_caller_id_name='lakshmanan',origination_caller_id_number=227,call=1,user=2,type=test,id=1001,refid=847,enabled=0,ignore_early_media=true,originate_timeout=30}user/1006 202 XML default My dialplan looks like follows: <context name="default"> <extension name="outbound_soc"> <condition field="destination_number" expression="^.*$"> <action application="set" data="continue_on_fail=true"/> <action application="set" data="bypass_media=false"/> <action application="set" data="ignore_early_media=true"/> <action application="set" data="exec_after_bridge_app=park"/> <action application="socket" data=" 0.0.0.0:8447 async full"/> </condition> </extension> </context> So once the user 1006 answers the call, it will connect to an Outbound socket. And here is my program in perl for controlling the Outbound ESL. use lib '/root/freeswitch/libs/esl/perl/'; require ESL; use IO::Socket::INET; my $ip = "localhost"; my $sock = new IO::Socket::INET ( LocalHost => $ip, LocalPort => '8447', Proto => 'tcp', Listen => 1, Reuse => 1 ); die "Could not create socket: $!\n" unless $sock; for(;;) { printf "Going to wait for clients to connect\n\n"; my $new_sock = $sock->accept(); my $pid = fork(); if ($pid) { close($new_sock); next; } ®isterSignals(); my $host = $new_sock->sockhost(); my $fd = fileno($new_sock); printf "Before making a ESL connection $fd\n"; my $con = new ESL::ESLconnection($fd); my $info = $con->getInfo(); my $uuid = $info->getHeader("unique-id"); printf "Connected call %s, from %s\n", $uuid, $info->getHeader("caller-caller-id-number"); print "BYE\n"; close($new_sock); } sub registerSignals() { foreach ( keys %SIG ) { $SIG{$_} = 'sig_Handler'; } } sub sig_Handler() { my $handle = shift; print "Got signal $handle\n"; if($handle eq "CHLD") { wait(); } } But as soon as the call comes to the Outbound ESL program, it receives SIGSEGV. The child program prints the following: Before making a ESL connection 4 Got signal SEGV Can any one please tell me why this is happening?? And one more thing. If I execute the following API, it works fine as expected. api originate {origination_caller_id_name='lakshmanan',origination_caller_id_number=227,call=1}user/1006 202 XML default The child prints as follows: Before making a ESL connection 4 Connected call 01200ab6-73bf-11df-af54-55cf82f02c9b, from 227
