For the brave: use modules.conf without 'autoload = yes'. This promises
you many hours of interesting dialplan debugging. Enjoy.

Yup, that's what I anticipated, which is why I was asking which
modules I can _safely_ remove without breaking things Smile

Generally, the rule is that you can't remove any of the res_*
modules. If you follow that rule, you can then start to work out the
applications, functions, and channels that you don't want. The codecs
and formats modules are usually too small to consider disabling, unless
it is absolutely critical for space (such as on embedded systems, where
you generally don't want any transcoding anyway).

Thanks for the tip. At this point, I have the following in
modules.conf, but when I type "reload", it still loads stuff I
disabled such as DunDI:

==========
[modules]
autoload=yes
noload => pbx_gtkconsole.so
noload => pbx_kdeconsole.so
load => res_musiconhold.so
noload => chan_alsa.so
noload => pbx_ael.so
noload => pbx_dundi.so
noload => res_config_pgsql.so
noload => res_smdi.so

[Feb 25 16:56:09] NOTICE[6763]: pbx_ael.c:4114 pbx_load_module: AEL
load process: compiled config file name
'/etc/asterisk/extensions.ael'.

-- Reloading module 'pbx_dundi.so' (Distributed Universal Number
Discovery (DUNDi))
== Parsing '/etc/asterisk/dundi.conf': Found
==========

Moving the noload lines before autoload makes no difference.

I would check to see if you might have another modules.conf configured
in a different directory. Your binary might be looking elsewhere, especially
if you're on a non-Linux platform. It's possible also to specify a different
directory on Linux, though the default should /etc/asterisk/modules.conf.

Check also that you haven't specified a different configuration directory
in /etc/asterisk/asterisk.conf, because that will also override the default.

Tilghman, isn't it also possible he did not build them as modules?

Doesn't Section 12 of 'make menuselect' allow you to incorporate the
modules directly into a monolithic executable?

I have been wrong before though.....

It would still try to load modules from the modules directory.

BTW: you can always set the modules path through asterisk.conf.

To help you on your way of minimizing modules, here's some basic setup
that generally works (but you might miss some applications and
functions). The trickiest thing is that you need res_features,
otherwise you would get coredumps on boot. For me, Asterisk trimmed
down to this config loads in an eye blink.

Regards,
Atis

; ---- start of modules ----
[modules]
autoload=no

; Used applications
load => app_dial.so
load => app_playback.so
load => app_read.so

; Channel drivers
; probably you don't need chan_local, but it's nice
load => chan_local.so
load => chan_sip.so

; Codecs
load => codec_gsm.so
load => codec_ulaw.so
load => codec_alaw.so
load => codec_a_mu.so

load => format_gsm.so
load => format_pcm.so

; PBX - choose between AEL and .conf files
; load => pbx_config.so
load => pbx_ael.so
; use pbx_spool if you want to drop .call files
load => pbx_spool.so

; Functions
load => func_strings.so
load => func_rand.so
load => func_logic.so
load => func_cut.so
load => func_callerid.so

; Resources
; if you don't have agi, you may remove this
load => res_agi.so
load => res_musiconhold.so

; res_features is required by chan_sip
load => res_features.so

;------ end of modules

Thanks much for sharing your modules.conf.
