Re: [asterisk-users] Can't restart asterisk from script

If you are using something like the 4th, the error is in your script so you should post the script. The difference between the first 2 is that 1 uses double quotes and 2 uses single quotes. Quotes mean pass everything between the quotes as a single argument. Double quotes mean evaluate any expressions or environment variables before passing. Single quotes mean pass everything literally, without evaluation or substitution. Single quotes are better than double quotes because we already know there is nothing to evaluate or substitute in restart gracefully so there is no need to pass the quoted string through the evaluation/substitution code in the shell. The 3rd doesn't work because just restart is passed as the argument to the x option and restart by itself is not a valid Asterisk command. Please paste your crontab if you still need help. -- Thanks in advance, - Steve Edwards sedwa...@sedwards.com Voice: +1-760-468-3867 PST Newline Fax: +1-760-731-3000 ___ -- 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

2009/12/9 Michelle Dupuis supp...@ocg.ca I'm running * 1.4 and can successfully restart asterisk from the command line with: /usr/sbin/asterisk -r -x restart gracefully However, I have a cron job that tries to restart asterisk and gets this error: No such command 'restart gracefully' (type 'help restart gracefully' for other possible commands) Can anyone think of why this is happening? I've met a situation where a call remained active tough obviously, no one was talking to anyone. This kept gracefully restart from working. So, would a 'restart now' behave differently ?

Why would one want a daily sabotage of the system in the first place? Reading this thread, I wondered why a gracefully restart wouldn't work in the first place and focused my modest contribution on this. You're right that a daily restart now in not recommended. IMHO, for daily maintenance, taking this specific case (a ghost call is keeping restart gracefully from running) into account is necessary. -- Tzafrir Cohen icq#16849755 jabber:tzafrir.co...@xorcom.comjabber%3atzafrir.co...@xorcom.com +972-50-7952406 mailto:tzafrir.co...@xorcom.com http://www.xorcom.com iax:gu...@local.xorcom.com/tzafrir ___ -- 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 ___ -- 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
