Not a big fan of band-aids, but I understand they have their place.

Will restarting Asterisk make it "responsive" or do you have an OS issue?

A very small nit -- single quotes should be infinitesimally more efficient 
because the shell will not try to do parameter substitution within the 
quoted string.

If the intent is to schedule a job to be run daily, how about "@daily" 
instead of "0 4 * * *"
