What I say is that you have the worse of both worlds:

- downtime of at ~1/2 a minute (avarage, if a cron runs every minute).
  In the case a restart is all it take. 

- A bigger downtime in case a restart is not what it takes. Because your
  logs will be flooded.

- And a most unpredicatable behaviour.


So why would Asterisk crash? And if so: would a simple restart really
do?
