Found the problem... It doesn't work as implemented if you're using "-u" and launching freeswitch initially as root - problem is that the parent process is still running as root, child is running as the less privileged user, and can't send SIGUSR2 to the parent. The issue is that in src/switch.c main() - daemonize() is called prior to change_user_group(), just prior to the code that sets the priority. I'll put a Jira issue in with a suggested fix. -- Nathan On 03/27/2013 02:35 PM, Anthony Minessale wrote:

I normally start with -nc, but have periodically tried using -ncwait, and what I find is that freeswitch terminates after it's fully up and running.

I can diagnose further, but my understanding was that -ncwait was supposed to be equivalent to -nc, except it wouldn't fork until freeswitch was fully ready for fs_cli connections.

Is that not correct?
