[asterisk-users] Phones dropping registration, but asterisk thinks phones are still registered

[Danny Nicholas]

Why can't you just do a daily/weekly cron to "restart when convenient" in
off/slow hours for local time.  Is your business constantly on-line 24/7?

I know people have suggested upgrading the server, but I'm not in a
position to do that right now.
However, I believe there is a symptom. When I do a sip show peer on an
affected phone,
the expire time is NEGATIVE. I think this might be contributing to the
problem, and why Asterisk
thinks the phone is still registered.

Thanks.
