This is what i have cronned atm. I found Asterisk with 5 days uptime.

The behaviour i saw was issuing another 'core restart when convenient'
resulting in the 'Ignoring asterisk restart request, already in
progress.'-message, but issuing 'core restart now' did have effect,
though, as you stated, after a short delay of about 15 seconds.

I have some pointers on where to look next. It was totally unclear to me
that modules 'get asked to shut down' and might not feel like doing so
at particular moments. I figured it was all about active channels.

Thanks.
