[asterisk-users] How often to restart Asterisk...

[Danny Nicholas]

The general rule seems to be, don't restart it unless there's a problem or
you hear of memory leaks.  I had a version of 1.4 that I restarted every
night because I read about memory leaks, but I hear of 1.2 installs that
have been running continuously for 10 years.

Had my Asterisk instance stop responding to incoming/outgoing calls today.
Had to kill -9 the asterisk process and restart it to get it back. Not
really looking for help on that as the instance is version 1.6 and is due to
be replaced with an upgraded version shortly. 

However, this does make me wonder, do you restart periodically to try to
avoid issues or do you just let things run until there is a problem? This
box had 119 days of up time on the Asterisk process. I have a client that I
installed an Elastix instance on and the last time I checked it, it was up
to almost 500 days of up time without an asterisk restart.
