Re: [asterisk-users] restart asterisk daily
I have multiple queues in my case. Do you mean multiple queues is one of the reason to consume memory? How to only reset the queue stats? You will see asterisk behave its worst with multiple queues and heavy dialplan logic. I restart my boxes with queues everynight at midnight just to reset the queue stats displayed with show queue. ___ -- Bandwidth and Colocation Provided by http://www.api-digital.com -- asterisk-users mailing list To UNSUBSCRIBE or update options visit: http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users

Always rely on free -m to see how much free memory you have not top. in terms of memory leak, i have asterisk running on servers with uptime of 400 days (CentOs), if there was any leak, i'm guessing i would have crashed server long time ago.
