Stuck “channel”

    Since yesterday I have a stuck channel on my Asterisk server and I
do not know how to eliminate it:

Message/ast_msg_queu macro-dial-one       s                  59 Up     
Dial         PJSIP/1218/sip:1218@192.1 17:24:07

    I assume this is something created by Freepbx.  If I do a “channel request hangup” it tells me the channel does not exist. Any ideas?

  • Are you trying to hang up “Message/ast_msg_queu” or are you hitting the tab key to complete it in the CLI? “Message/ast_msg_queu” is not the full channel name, it’s being truncated for display purposes.

  • I have tried both by hand and hitting tab to auto complete:

    *CLI> channel request hangup Message/ast_msg_queue Message/ast_msg_queue is not a known channel

  • This channel is used for processing all out of dialog SIP MESSAGE requests in the dialplan. It cannot be hung up.
