[Asterisk-Users] Crash on reload only with autoload=no

[Benjamin Lawetz]

Hi,

I've been having a little problem with my asterisk servers, I have 4
identical asterisk servers setup (same hardware, same OS, same config). Once
in a while (once or twice a day) one of the server crashes on the cron job
reload. But I realized this only happens on 3 of the 4 servers. Tried to
spot the difference between that one server that wasn't crashing. The
difference I found was that the server that doesn't crash has autoload=yes
in the /etc/asterisk/modules.conf whereas the others have autoload=no and
"load=" lines to load the proper modules.

What could be the problem? Problem with autoload=no in the reload? I'm not
loading a necessary module that causes the crash?

A "show modules" on the autoload=no servers (the ones that crash) shows:
