Depends on the type of changes you do. Changes to the dialplan are easy and can be made with the reload command. Some services in asterisk reread their config on each call so as to have the newest copy to use all the time. Some changes need a restart. I think the zapata channels require a restart. Of course if you are changing them, you probably are in the middle of either hardware changes or initial setup, so restarting isn't as inconvenient. I'm not sure about the VoIP drivers and how they handle the configs as I haven't needed to worry about them of late. -- Steven Critchfield <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> _______________________________________________ Asterisk-Users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users
