[Asterisk-Users] Help with Cron and Reload

[JD Austin]

Heres what I use; I have asterisk restart if the net is down and once a 
day just before 7am:
crontab -e:
55 6 * * * /usr/sbin/asterisk -r -x "restart gracefully" >/dev/null 2>&1
5,10,15,20,25,30,35,40,45,50,55 * * * * /root/scripts/check_net

/root/check_net
#!/usr/bin/perl
$net=`/bin/ping -c 02 google.com 2>&1 | /bin/grep -c 'unknown host'`;
if ($net==1) {
print `/bin/date`;
print `/usr/sbin/asterisk -r -x "restart gracefully"`;
}
