The general rule seems to be, don't restart it unless there's a problem or you hear of memory leaks. I had a version of 1.4 that I restarted every night because I read about memory leaks, but I hear of 1.2 installs that have been running continuously for 10 years.

Had my Asterisk instance stop responding to incoming/outgoing calls today. Had to kill -9 the asterisk process and restart it to get it back. Not really looking for help on that as the instance is version 1.6 and is due to be replaced with an upgraded version shortly. However, this does make me wonder, do you restart periodically to try to avoid issues or do you just let things run until there is a problem? This box had 119 days of up time on the Asterisk process. I have a client that I installed an Elastix instance on and the last time I checked it, it was up to almost 500 days of up time without an asterisk restart.
