Voice Server software

[Pan Lalas]

Hello ppl.

In ZNY we host for the last 5-6 years our own voice server (nyartcc.org).

I understand that the version we have (voiced) is rather old.

Ross Carlson had provided us with a more up to date version which we lost after a HDD failure.

A few questions. From what I understand there are 2 different programs in use. RWBS and AVS.

Which one is better? How and where can we request the latest version in use?

Is there some kind of docomeentation with the configuration file commands?

Hi Pan,

 

Drop an email to Wade Williams, VP Dev and he will be able to answer your queries.

RWBS isn't used anymore... only AVS, of which voiced is the executable

[Pan Lalas]

Thnx Luca. Good to know. I've sent an e-mail to Wade. Btw has anyone written a "start|stop|check if running" script that we could use in a cron? I appreciate any help.

I think i missed the last part of this thread...

 

i have been asked via ES about his script on saturday... so here it is:

 

i don't know if this is the ideal solution... but it's quick, easy and works... and SHOULD be safe.

 

create a file named check in the avs directory ([Mod - Happy Thoughts]uming avs is instaled in /home/vatsim/avs )

 

#!/bin/bash
cd /home/vatsim/avs
if [ "$(pidof voiced)" ]
then
 # process found, do nothing
       echo "ok";
else
 # process not found, restart it
 ./voiced &
fi

 

 

make the file executable "chmod +x ./check"

 

put in crontab as:

 

*/5 * * * * /home/vatsim/avs/check > /dev/null 2>&1

 

this would check every 5 minutes if voiced exists and if not it restarts.

 

If anybody has ideas to upgrade the script let me know

[Luca Benelli]

as for the above code... run

"which pidof" and use the complete path to pidof where necessary
