Hello,<br>
<br>
Yes, there is no need to restart. The fifo engine attempts to flush any
extra bogus characters whenever an error occurs, but it blocking
attempts to clear them until it encounters a carriage return.<br>
<br>
Just push an extra carriage return to the fifo and that should clear
out the previous empty command and make it accept new MI requests again.<br>
<br>

A well formed MI command should end with two '\n\n' characters. When
you do
<div class="im"><br>
echo -e ":address_dump:my_fifo\n\n"<br>
<br>
</div>
,your MI command ends with three '\n', because echo adds an extra \n at
the end, unless you use the -n parameter.<br>
<br>
So what happens is that OpenSIPS successfully processes your
address_dump MI command, and then reads the third \n.<br>
It treats it as an empty MI command, and attempts to block and read the
second \n signaling the end of the MI command, and there it gets stuck.<br>

<div>Vlad,</div>
<div>Thanks for this explaination, that makes a *lot* of sense.
However, I feel like sending "crap" to the fifo shouldn't break it,
right? At least, it should eventually clear itself out or reset itself
without requiring a restart. Right? If I had sent it just one more
carriage return, do you think it would clear it out?</div>
