[asterisk-users] Asterisk CLI commands not running !!!!!

[Lee, John (Sydney)]

I have a cron job that restarts Asterisk every night.
This is supposed to be an old Asterisk best practice for 1.2.* but I think it does not harm.

Asterisk sometimes goes to sleep. (And never wakes-up).

Restart it and all will be fine again.

We have a watchdog which sends SIP OPTIONS packet to Asterisk and if it does not respond – restarts it.

Hello,

I am using Asterisk 1.4.22 in a debian 4.0 with a kernel version 2.6.18-6-amd64 (SMP). The processor type is Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU E5420 @ 2.50GHz.

Sometimes, I get a strange behavior from asterisk: The CLI commands does not work and Asterisk cannot receive calls. The output of every CLI command is that command is not known (no such command).

Please help me resolve this problem: what can be the cause of it? is it Asterisk or my system? and what have I to do to eliminate this problem?

Thks in advance.
