vicidial.org

During the course of trouble shooting an issue I cam accross something strange.

On a single server install of vicibox7 i have noticed that asterisk continues running even though the service shows that it has been stopped.

Code: Select all

localhost:/home/user # service asterisk status
● asterisk.service - Asterisk PBX
   Loaded: loaded (/usr/lib/systemd/system/asterisk.service; disabled; vendor preset: disabled)
   Active: inactive (dead)


How could that be? Even if the service is stopped I am still able to access the asterisk CLI (asterisk -rvvvvv) and it does not seem to have any effect on the system.

VERSION: 2.14-661a
BUILD: 180222-0017

Could it perhaps be running as part of the vicidial service.

The reason I need to know is because I need to write a script that checks the status of asterisk periodically and sends an email if it is down.

I hope this has been answered for I am having the same experience right now
