described (stop accepting calls and shut down when all calls have
completed). If you don't want to stop accepting calls, but still want to
stop Asterisk when there are no active calls, you can use "stop when
convenient". The same qualifiers ("gracefully" and "when convenient") can be
applied to the "restart" command.

Hi Jeng,<br><br>From the Asterisk CLI type &quot;stop gracefully&quot; and it will do exactly what you described (stop accepting calls and shut down when all calls have completed). If you don&#39;t want to stop accepting calls, but still want to stop Asterisk when there are no active calls, you can use &quot;stop when convenient&quot;. The same qualifiers (&quot;gracefully&quot; and &quot;when convenient&quot;) can be applied to the &quot;restart&quot; command.
