[Asterisk-Users] Ramifications of Multiple Sip Reloads WithinMinutes?

[Dan Adams]

I can say on my end as I have a custom web interface that I have built to 
manage the asterisk server, I use the idea of having it run the reload 
thing every 5 minutes if it is needed, plus there is an option on the 
website that allows the user to invoke the reload thing. However with the 
web invoked reload, it still obeys the rules of if it is not needed then 
it will not reload.
