Hello i would like to use the evrexec module to execute background jobs over exec module mainly because i want to be able to trigger that route manually via rpc from time to time.
in the documentation its is stated we should use tasks that run forever and except using while loop i dont see another way.
and i dont to want to disable max_while_loops. but if i disable it i will get error message like runaway while (1091, 9): more then 100 loops.
so is there another way to do it properly ?
Thanks.
Hello,
iirc, there are two types of event routes there:
- one that is executed at startup by providing the 'exec' modparam
- one that just have to be defined in config and not provided to the 'exec' modparam
You need to use the 2nd one, just define it and then you will be able to execute it via rpc commands. It does not need anything else.
Cheers, Daniel

Patrick,
Maybe I'm a bit out of context, but could some external process like cron suits better for this kind of tasks than internal job?

Hello lhor,
yes i will do some tests with cron to see if it suits well.
the scenario is we have kamailio connected to redis database.
redis store some configs for kamailio that we want to update (from redis to kamailio htable) let say every 5 hours.
but if some reason we need to update some new config values from redis to kamailio. i want a way to trigger that as soon as we need it.
and evrexec suits well for that i think. ________________________________ De : sr-users sr-users-bounces@lists.kamailio.org de la part de Ihor Olkhovskyi igorolhovskiy@gmail.com Envoyé : mardi 16 août 2022 07:09 À : sr-users@lists.kamailio.org sr-users@lists.kamailio.org Objet : Re: [SR-Users] proper way for infinite loop in event_route for evrexec module

I'm not clear - are you saying that you feel evrexec is well suited for on demand reloading of your htable? It would see poorly suited to on demand tasks that are not trigged by SIP message handling (and triggering actions via SIP messages seems like an obtuse way of initiating these actions). It should be easier to trigger an external script from your shell (or via web api, etc) than via kamcmd/kamcli, isn't it?
