The various 'stop/restart' flavours and what they mean: * now - tell all CDRs to go submit themselves. Tell all channels to hang up, and wait up to 15 seconds for all channels to go away. Don't allow new channels to be made. After 15 seconds, shut down anyway. Clean up of resources in modules is "best effort" - don't wait for anything to get written or otherwise dispose of itself. * gracefully - tell all CDRs to go submit themselves. Wait until all channels have hung up, but don't hang them up. Don't allow new channels to be made. Once all channels have hung up, ask all of the modules to clean up after themselves - including waiting for CDRs to get written. * convenient - wait until all channels have hung up. If no channels are made, keep waiting. Once all channels have hung up, and no new channels are made, sneak in and ask all of the modules shut down and to clean up after themselves - including waiting for all CDRs to get written. Note that while one shutdown command is executing, another cannot be started. Thus, if you issue a 'core stop gracefully' and decide later to escalate it to 'core stop now', by default, Asterisk will refuse the 'core stop now' command. You can, however, stop the 'core stop gracefully' by issuing 'core abort shutdown', which will cause Asterisk to stop the existing shutdown attempt and return to normal processing. You can then issue another shutdown command at your leisure. -- Matthew Jordan Digium, Inc. | Engineering Manager 445 Jan Davis Drive NW - Huntsville, AL 35806 - USA Check us out at: http://digium.com & http://asterisk.org -- _____________________________________________________________________ -- Bandwidth and Colocation Provided by http://www.api-digital.com -- New to Asterisk?
