The world is moving to “systemd” to initialize daemons and applications. There are some notes about systemd on this deprecated Confluence page, but we really should figure out a dedicated documentation of systemd. Probably from the Stash source tree, I’m thinking, just to put it out there. https://freeswitch.org/confluence/display/FREESWITCH/FreeSWITCH+1.6+Video If you’re using sysVinit then maybe Google will turn up an older version of an init script. I think you should be looking in the o.s. logs to see what it thinks is happening when it starts FS. I think Debian stores this stuff in /var/log/access or /var/log/process. --- Bote FreeSWITCH Docs Janitor <http://freeswitch.org/confluence> http://freeswitch.org/confluence From: vfclists . Sent: Thursday, 04 February, 2016 05:38 Subject: [Freeswitch-users] How do you check the settings a Freeswitch session was started with? My Freeswitch is configured to start at runtime, but doesn't seem to work until I stop it, switch to the /usr/local/freeswitch/conf directory, and start it using '/usr/local/freeswitch/bin/freeswitch -nc'. When I copy those commands to '/etc/rc.local', it still doesn't work ie cd /usr/local/freeswitch/conf /usr/local/freeswitch/bin/freeswitch -nc I think the service script running it is not configured correctly. Is there some fs_cli, or fsctl option that can be used to interrogate a running instance to see what settings it was started with, or what configuration files it is using? -- Frank Church ======================= http://devblog.brahmancreations.com
