Correct me if I'm wrong, but if you run asterisk as a service this
happens. There is/was some dispute as to the fallacy of using
'safe_asterisk' anyway.

Start it at the command line to see the pretty colors.

Hi,

I`ve just made a leap from * 1.2.7 to 1.4.19. It took a while to fix
all the deprecated stuff, but everything seems to be working fine now,
except for a little tiny thing. I lost all color in my CLI, which makes
it harder to debug. Is there something that needs doing? I didn't
explicitely disable colorization from the command line, and I did try
using nocolor=no in the config files. No luck.

Regards,

Mike

Ah, not bad. When I start asterisk with "/usr/sbin/asterisk -c" I get the
colors, but if I start it without -c and then connect to the console using
"/usr/sbin/asterisk -r" I get no color.

Since I want this to be running in the background, how do I fix this so I
get to have my cake and eat it too?

IIRC, using the utility 'screen' might work for you?

I cant get color using asterisk -r on 1.2.17 or 18 either.

Indeed. VICIdial runs asterisk behind screen, and I see colors in the
console.

Seconded/thirded too. Went from 1.4.18 to 1.4.19, stopped using -c and went to background and connecting using -r, and colors disappeared for me as well. I'm using screen as well (ls -l --color=auto works fine in screen too).

Is there a documented "fix" available, or is this more just an odd curiosity regarding termtypes?

Yes. THe patch is pretty simple:

http://bugs.digium.com/9048

Basically Asterisk explicitly disables colors support when you try to
open a remote terminal. In that patch I explicitly set the terminal
type.

This is a very silly hack - when you use a remote console you could not
care less about the local console. Sadly Asterisk assumes that your
remote console uses exactly the same settings (and escape sequences) as
the local one.

The fact that this has not generated many bug reports only serves to show
how much compatible (to "ansi") are different terminals these days. At
least for the basics.

Hmm, interesting, initially it wasn't working. Maybe I started it from outside of screen? Odd.

BTW, is it possible for the SuSE script to support a variable to pass args to the daemon? Like perhaps modifying ASTARGS to be a changable param at the top of the script? I like the verbose output, and attempting to add it there myself (and change Line 71 to recognize its existence) didn't pan out right. Right now, I have to manually send "core set verbose 999" when connecting in.

Thanks!,

Or maybe it's plain buggy. Bug reports are welcomed.

init.d script source extra parameters from /etc/sysconfig/<scriptname>
(/etc/default/<scriptname> on Debian).

Set this variable in that /etc/sysconfig/asterisk (to -Fvv)

BTW: why do you prefer it to start verbosely? This tends to clutter the
logs with useless information.

I'm running Mandriva and found the line that had -vvv. I like mine at
15, so just put 15 v's on that line. Worked great.

15? What do you need that for?

IIRC the highest verbosity level is 5. anything more than that doesn't
change the clogging of your logs.

Nah, I think it was PEBKAC and PICNIC here :: sheepish grin ::

I tried adding -vvvv-style options to the DAEMON var assignment, and it looks like the -f check further down didn't like that. I'll look into the sysconfig setting...more used to Gentoo setups than SuSE.

Oh, this is just for a faxing system. We have an ancient Rolm in place for the actual phone calls. I want to monitor/log things when I roll it out for testing to catch any oddities that may occur with inbound and outbound faxes. Communication between it and the Rolm sometimes went to "sleep" (I sent a mail here on that, but got no responses), and so, I want to watch for it in case it happens again. Might've been a bug fixed in the newer releases of zaptel and asterisk (which I'm running now).
