[Asterisk-Users] Static Config?
Hi, I'm new to asterisk. After fiddling a bit I got it to work. It seems great. One question though, is it possible to configure asterisk when it is running? i.e. add new phones or do you have to restart it every time you want to make changes?

Depends on the type of changes you do. Changes to the dialplan are easy and can be made with the reload command. Some services in asterisk reread their config on each call so as to have the newest copy to use all the time. Some changes need a restart. I think the zapata channels require a restart. Of course if you are changing them, you probably are in the middle of either hardware changes or initial setup, so restarting isn't as inconvenient. I'm not sure about the VoIP drivers and how they handle the configs as I haven't needed to worry about them of late. -- Steven Critchfield <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> ___ Asterisk-Users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users

One more important thing to note: you can issue a restart when convenient (or type restw if you're lazy like me). This waits until the channels are free (correct me if I'm wrong). > -Original Message- > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:asterisk-users- > [EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Steven Critchfield > Sent: Monday, November 17, 2003 1:01 PM > To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Subject: Re: [Asterisk-Users] Static Config? > > On Mon, 2003-11-17 at 12:37, Storm D.

While this is one of my favorite commands and I enjoy it immensely, it also can cause some anxious moments when you are watching calls come and go. I think I waited about 3 hours once just hoping to get it cleared to restart asterisk once. If you don't mind a few missed calls but don't want to interupt ongoing calls there is also the gracefully command. gracefully will stop accepting new calls, and will either stop or restart when all calls clear. > > -Original Message- > > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:asterisk-users- > > [EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Steven Critchfield > > Sent: Monday, November 17, 2003 1:01 PM > > To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > > Subject: Re: [Asterisk-Users] Static Config? > > > > On Mon, 2003-11-17 at 12:37, Storm D.
