[asterisk-users] Restarting Asterisk using a script - Thanks to all -

[Aurimas Skirgaila]

Hi,

1) It would be nice to find out the root reason that forces you to
restart the Asterisk. I do run Aheeva with decently high uptimes.

2) Both "a" and "b" methods of Jose P. Espinal are functional, but if
I'm having a failure, I up to grab the putty and investigate what's
going on there :) How often are you having them?

3) what's the another service related to Aheeva, that requires to be restarted?

a. You could (maybe) use PHP and send some command via POST, and (after

secure/validating the command) use 'exec()' function in php, or


'system()' function.


Note: that would require to have a webserver with php installed on it.

And allowing the user under which the webserver runs, to restart


asterisk via sudoers file.


b. You could use a shellscript that sends the command via SSH.


In order to avoid password prompt, you could generate a RSA (or DSA) key


pair on the machine that will send the command, and copy the rsa_key.pub

content on your asterisk box 'authorized_keys'.


That would allow you to execute the command remotely via SSH without


having to insert the password manually.


Note: you could consider using a very limited user on the asterisk box,

and with sudoers file allowing it just to restart Asterisk.
