It's possible, with something this in extensions.conf; exten => 999999,1,NoOp(Restarting server now) exten => 999999,n,System(shutdown -r now) Then dial 999999. NB this is UNTESTED, for obvious reasons! You probably do not want this extension to be in a context that anyone besides you can access. And if you are not running Asterisk as root, then you will need to write a C wrapper around the shutdown binary and make it setuid root. But just because it is possible, does not mean it is not a really, really terrible idea. The real question is, WHY are you wanting to be able to reboot your server from your extension? Because there is almost certainly a better way of achieving whatever it is that you are hoping to achieve. -- JM or AJS Note: Originating address only accepts e-mail from list!
