<pre style="white-space: pre-wrap; white-space: -moz-pre-wrap; white-space: -pre-wrap; white-space: -o-pre-wrap; word-wrap: break-word;">The option flag you've introduced is unnecessary. There is an ast_shutting_down() function that you can call to determine if Asterisk is shutting down.
I've been thinking about this a bit more since yesterday, and I think the behaviour you're introducing isn't always going to be wanted on a shutdown. It may be that this instance of Asterisk is being shut down permanently in order to migrate to a new server, or something similar. In such a case, keeping the subscriptions open during shutdown doesn't really make sense. But if the system is going down temporarily, say for a brief maintenance, on a shutdown it might make sense to persist the open subscriptions. I think making this behaviour optional on shutdown is a good idea.
During a restart, I imagine that this introduced behavior will always be wanted, though. The problem is, there's no way to tell if the current shutdown operation is part of a restart. This may be an area where introducing a new option flag is warranted, to tell if Asterisk is being restarted. This way, you can always persist the subscriptions during a restart.</pre>

<pre style="margin: 0; padding: 0; white-space: pre-wrap; white-space: -moz-pre-wrap; white-space: -pre-wrap; white-space: -o-pre-wrap; word-wrap: break-word;">If you do a 'core (shutdown|restart) graceful' persistent subscriptions won't survive. If you do a 'core (shutdown|restart) now' or asterisk terminates for some reason, they do. Here's why...
When asterisk shuts down gracefully, it sends a 'NOTIFY/terminated' to subscribers for each subscription. This not only tells the subscribers that the dialog/state machine is done, it also frees the last reference to the subscription tree which causes the persistent subscription to get deleted from astdb. When asterisk restarts, nothing's left. Just preventing the delete from astdb doesn't work because we already told the subscriber to terminate the dialog so we can't restart it even if it was still in astdb. Everything works OK if asterisk terminates unexpectedly because we never send the 'terminated' message so on restart, the subscription is still in astdb and the subscriber is none the wiser.
This patch suppresses the sending of 'NOTIFY/terminated' on shutdown for persistent connections. To do this, I've had to add a new AST_OPT_FLAG_SHUTTING DOWN to options so we know that a shut down is in progress.</pre>

Now when asterisk comes back up, it sends NOTIFY/active messages with updated expires to persistent subscribers which all return OK and further notifies are processed correctly.</pre>
