[arm-allstar] Echolink Sometimes Not Loading

[Jim Kutsch, KY2D]

John, David,
I have experienced this going back 5 years or so on various desktop PCs,
BBBs, and RPI systems running a variety of Allstar builds. In all cases,
putting a "sleep 30" at the top of the script that starts Asterisk after
boot solved the problem.

I *THINK* it's related to not having the network fully up and available when
Asterisk tries to start Echolink. I always use DHCP but my router is set to
assign the same IP to Allstar box.

That might not be the root cause but regardless, the sleep 30 resolves it.

Hi John,

I've noticed this issue with chan_echolink for a long time, even with old
ACID boxes. I haven't really looked for the cause. On the echolink enabled
boxes, after reboot, I just have a script to stop/start asterisk once it has
been running for 1 minute.....I suspected the problem was perhaps caused by
the lack of an echolink node database having been downloaded???
Maybe???


...Yeah, I know stopping/starting isn't an ideal solution! I'll put this on
the list to look at.
