Actually, I donno it is a memory leak or not. I have a server only running asterisk. As time goes by, the free memory shown in the top is decreased. After I restart the asterisk, the free memory comes again. That's why I wonder if regular restart asterisk is necessary. Use a crontab to restart asterisk is a way to do it but you have to maintain a crontab. Is it possible to use logrotate instead? Or other better way?
