SAFE_ASTERISK(8)					     Linux Programmer's Manual						  SAFE_ASTERISK(8)

NAME

       safe_asterisk -- A wrapper to run the asterisk executable in a loop

SYNOPSIS

       safe_asterisk [ asterisk_params ]

DESCRIPTION

       safe_asterisk is a script that runs asterisk in a loop, which can be useful if you fear asterisk may crash.

       The  script  does  not run in the background like a standard service. Rather, it runs in its own linux virtual console (9, by default).	It
       also uses the option '-c' of asterisk(8) to avoid detaching asterisk from that terminal.

       safe_asterisk also runs asterisk with unlimited core file size, and thus asterisk will dump core in case of a crash.

       To get a "picture" of console 9, from another terminal (e.g: from a remote shell session) you can use:

	 screendump 9

       The init script of the Debian package should be able to run safe_asterisk as the  asterisk  service,  if  so  configured.  See  coments	in
       /etc/default/asterisk

FILES

       /tmp
	      safe_asterisk runs in that directory, rather than in / as usual.

       /tmp/core
	      If core files were generated there, they may be

       /etc/asterisk/startup.d
	      Files  in  this directory will be 'source'd by the safe_asterisk script before it starts Asterisk proper, allowing them to set addi-
	      tional environment variables or run any other steps that are needed for your system.

BUGS

       While showing the output on a console is useful, using screen(1) as the terminal may be better.

       The script does not read configuration from standard location under /etc

       It uses fixed locations under /tmp , and thus may be exposed to a symlink attacks.

NAME

       winpdb, rpdb2 -- platform independent Python debugger

SYNOPSIS

       winpdb,	rpdb2  [-h,  --help]  [-d, --debuggee]	[-a, --attach]	[-o, --host]  [-r, --remote]  [-e, --encrypt]  [-p, --pwd]  [-s, --screen]
       [-c, --chdir]  [--debug]  [[<script-name> [<script-args>...]]]

DESCRIPTION

       This manual page documents briefly the winpdb and rpdb2 commands.

       This manual page was written for the Debian distribution because the original program does not have a manual page.

       winpdb is a GUI frontend to rpdb2, a remote debugger for python, which is capable to debug threads- and curses-based code.

OPTIONS

       These programs follow the usual GNU command line syntax, with long options starting with  two  dashes  (`-').   A  summary  of  options	is
       included below.

       -h	    --help
		 Print the program's help.

       -d	    --debuggee
		 Start debuggee and break into it, without starting a debugger console.

       -a	    --attach
		 Attach to an already started debuggee.

       -o	    --host
		 Specify host for attachment.

       -r	    --remote
		 Allow debuggees to accept connections from remote machines.

       -e	    --encrypt
		 Force encrypted connections between debugger and debuggees.

       -p	    --pwd
		 Password.  This  flag	is  available  only  on  NT systems.  On other systems the password will be queried interactively if it is
		 needed.

       -s	    --screen
		 Use the Unix screen utility when spawning the debuggee.

       -c	    --chdir
		 Change the working directory to that of the launched script.

       --debug	 Debug prints.
