I think I'll just run a CRON job to stop/start Zaptel and see if it solves the issue I'm having about Asterisk no longer answering calls after X weeks of running fine.

Hi Gilles. You appear to be both posting to newsgroup gmane.comp.telephony.pbx.asterisk.user AND sending the same message directly to the asterisk-users list. This means that we list subscribers see two copies of all your messages: one from gmane, one from you. (They don't show up that way on gmane because it suppresses duplicates.) Can you please pick one or the other? Thanks. Sorry for interrupting. -- Barry -- _ -- Bandwidth and Colocation Provided by http://www.api-digital.com -- New to Asterisk?

No one will be calling at 3AM, there's ample time to reboot once a month for example. Of course as Tzafrir points out, this doesn't tell you what's wrong. What it does do is lessen any possible problems with memory leaks, etc. /r -- _ -- Bandwidth and Colocation Provided by http://www.api-digital.com -- New to Asterisk?

[asterisk-users] [CRON] Right way to restart Asterisk and Zaptel?
Hello About every three months, my dad's little Asterisk server that handles his business phone line with an OpenVox PCI card stops taking calls. To check if it's the cause, I'd like to run a CRON job every night to restart Zaptel and Asterisk. Before I go ahead, I'd like to know if I can just send the following commands, or if there are issues I should know about: /usr/local/etc/rc.d/asterisk stop /usr/local/etc/rc.d/zaptel stop /usr/local/etc/rc.d/zaptel start /usr/local/etc/rc.d/asterisk start Or, as I suspect, if there's already a good watchguard applet available, I could use that instead. FWIW, it's a FreeBSD 6.3 host, running Zaptel 1.4.0-BSD and Asterisk 1.4.21.2. Thank you. -- _ -- Bandwidth and Colocation Provided by http://www.api-digital.com -- New to Asterisk?
