[asterisk-users] FW: Can you reload only one conf file?

[Mike]

Actually, I experienced the crashes yesterday (I am still running 1.2.18,
because of some difficulty in upgrading, see
http://bugs.digium.com/view.php?id=9643).

What I meant is that I will use "extension reload", not the whole "reload".
But I would have liked to go even more precise than that and specified
"extension reload foo.conf"

It wasn't that long ago that repeated reloads would cause an Asterisk system
to slow and eventually crash.  I think that bug was fixed but I would still
only use reload on specific modules, not a total reload.

Thanks,
Steve
