[arm-allstar] how can i determine why a bbb node goes to sleep

[Doug Crompton]

Neil,

There is nothing that should go to sleep on the BBB or RPi2 assuming you are using a wired connection. I do have some questions about what you mean by going to sleep.

Do you lose connection to the linux prompt or just the local connection via radio?

If you do have the linux prompt can you ping to somewhere and get a response?

ping ucsd.edu

I am not sure if you can answer this question but does the blinking green light on the USB FOB go solid or out when this happens?

If you go into the Asterisk client can you see the hungup line when you release the PTT of the radio you are talking to your node with?

Does the node ID or give any output when this "sleep" happens?

In the Asterisk client  you can key and unkey the radio manually to see if you have control. The command is -

susb key   
susb unkey

This should key the radio and turn on the red PTT LED. Make sure to unkey.

I have noted a "sleeping node" or node lockup issue 
after extended hours of no activity. I try to key up the node when this occurs 
and get nothing. the status of the node shows connected and not keyed up. the 
timing of these sleeping periods seem random. some people have suggested 
starting a cron job to reboot on a regular schedule. rebooting the node does 
bring it back 100%
Are there any thoughts or best practices to 
share?
