[asterisk-users] restart asterisk daily

[ast erisk]

So that´s why I´ve always get a red bar on home screen of the Trixbox?

Phisical memory is always at top most use, near 100% (green bar turns red on
high level of memory use), and below it there is Kernel / Application,
Buffers, Cached memory uses.

tks,
