Uptime counters (was RE: [Asterisk-Users] Bayonne and Asterisk)

[James Sizemore]

You can not rotate logs with out dropping calls,  and if logs get a 
little over 2Gbs Asterisk will crashes...
So I could figure out the average time between crashs just by log level 
and call volume! LOL
This is with out running into a single bug. <smile>  Thankful I can 
restart Asterisk from
time to time myself, but for a person that "can not go down" this would 
be a sticking
point that would need fixing!
