Hello,

not a KEMI python expert, but what you are trying to do (adding a process to Kamailio and then also maintaining it during run-time) could be probably better done from the C module level.

You can look to the several modules that starts their own children worker processes to get an idea how to do it.

Cheers,

Henning

Hello again,

Any advice will be appreciated.

Thanks

Hello Daniel,

Probably, the process is not killed, because the child processes of the python module are not included in the kamailio children list.

How can I register an event route in KEMI script?

Doc says:

event route callback - the name of the Python function to be executed instead of module specific event_route blocks is provided via event_callback parameter of that module

but evrexec doesn't have an event_callback parameter.

I tried to set up exec parameter (_update is Python function)

modparam("evrexec", "exec", "name=_update;workers=1;")

and got warning

WARNING: evrexec [evrexec_mod.c:180]: evrexec_process(): empty event route block [_update]

Hello,

not sure I got right what is the issue and what would be a solution for it, but maybe you can leverage evrexec to create a child process and by that keep it in kamailio children list.

Cheers,
Daniel

Hello!

I'm trying to use app_python module to perform periodic actions.

This is a simple python code

def _update():

while True:

_action()

time.sleep(60)

class noop_handler:

def child_init(self, rank):

return 0

def ksr_request_route(self, msg):

return 1

def mod_init():

# signal.signal(signal.SIGTERM, signal.default_int_handler)

proc = multiprocessing.Process(target=_update)

# proc.daemon = True

proc.start()

ksr.notice('Forked process {} to update\n'.format(proc.pid))

return noop_handler()

After killing kamailio processes with SIGTERM signal (killall kamailio) I see zombie process.

And if I try to process the signal in daemon mode (see the comments in the snippet above), I get critical errors in the logs and still see processes:

0(37001) NOTICE: <core> [core/kemi.c:124]: sr_kemi_core_notice(): Forked process 37002 to update

So, how I can kill child process by SIGTERM signal?
