i am trying to get the asterisk console to debug some sessions but nothing
i am doing
#asterisk -r
and it does not recognise the command. any ideas?

#asterisk -r
and it does not recognise the command. any ideas?

/offload/rootfs/usr/sbin/asterisk -r

It should also just work with: /usr/sbin/asterisk -r

The PATH for ssh access does not include /sbin or /usr/sbin. If someone wants to throw the right rc file in the pbx/rootfs overlay I'd be thankful (for the busybox hush shell). I just haven't done it yet.

From what I understand, the file that dropbear uses for setting up the start env. is:
/etc/profile

and that should contain something like:
PATH="/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin"

Im still learning the Askozia boot system so Im unable to add the correct file for the moment.

The /etc directory is in a writable part of the filesystem. You could ssh in, and use vi to add that file. Then log out and ssh back in. If the path is set correctly this time, then the problem's solved. I thought the shell, hush, would have to set this but if dropbear sets it directly that's ok too.

Before posting the tip I created the file and it worked, then I rebooted and the file was gone....

Is there any documentation what fs Askozia uses ?

[Michael]

Rebooting clears the memory file system. The entire system, except for /usr, lives in an initramfs file system. The /usr directory is mounted read-only from the install media. This combination eliminates writes to the installed media, except for configuration changes (one write for the config.xml file) and reduces ram usage by storing the big binaries in /usr directory on the install media.
