No need for a religious argument!
But my OS has been ordained by GOD! j/k
I have, on occasion, had to reboot Linux CentOS 3.x with Asterisk 1.2.10, but certainly not daily, once a week or longer. Only when something is obviously insane.
I run Tao Linux on a number of the asterisk boxes I administer, and it's basically the same thing as CentOS. To get it to the point of useable stability, I had to disable probably about 20 or so useless processes that are running by default. Before I disabled these processes, I did have to schedule weekly reboots. I'm now able to keep it running continuously running without hiccups with all the versions of asterisk that I mentioned previously in this thread. The only reboots I have are for occasional security updates, about once every few months or so. I also did run CVS-HEAD (pre 1.2) in production at one point, and that WAS pretty hairy as far as stability is concerned. When I did that, I did have to run cron scripts to restart asterisk, but not the whole system. I definitely agree with other posters in this thread that reboots are generally NOT the answer, at least as a long term solution. Just from anecdotal experience, it seems more likely that you'll run into problems at boot time than if you leave the system running and just restart certain offending processes. - Noah _______________________________________________ --Bandwidth and Colocation provided by Easynews.com -- asterisk-users mailing list To UNSUBSCRIBE or update options visit: http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users
