Hi Mike, Thread is lightweight process, because openser has lots of threads, so you can saw many process from ps -aux Best regards, Steven Wu ________________________________ From: users-bounces(a)lists.openser.org 代表 Mike Li Sent: 2008-6-18 (星期三) 9:43 To: Users(a)lists.openser.org Subject: [OpenSER-Users] lots of OpenSER processes Hi, everyone, I have installed OpenSER 1.3.2, and it works fine for me, but i found lots of active processes for OpenSER, what's happened? I was using CentOS for the server. [root@localhost ~]# ps -aux Warning: bad syntax, perhaps a bogus '-'?

Hello Mike, OpenSER is a multiprocess application. Check in your config the number of 'children': http://www.openser.org/dokuwiki/doku.php/core-cookbook:1.3.x#children You can check the task of each process by running 'openserctl ps'. For example, listening only on udp with a number of 4 listener/children, the output should look like this: # openserctl ps Process:: ID=0 PID=11235 Type=attendant Process:: ID=1 PID=11247 Type=SIP receiver udp:xx.xx.xx.xx:5060 Process:: ID=2 PID=11249 Type=SIP receiver udp:xx.xx.xx.xx:5060 Process:: ID=3 PID=11250 Type=SIP receiver udp:xx.xx.xx.xx:5060 Process:: ID=4 PID=11252 Type=SIP receiver udp:xx.xx.xx.xx:5060 Process:: ID=5 PID=11254 Type=timer Process:: ID=6 PID=11259 Type=MI FIFO Regards, Ovidiu Sas On Tue, Jun 17, 2008 at 9:43 PM, Mike Li &lt;dinolvox(a)gmail.com&gt; wrote:
