[asterisk-users] RFCFS - reload specified file
"Request For Comments on a Feature Suggestion" -- just wondering if others would find this useful. Frequently, when something really doesn't make sense, I like to bump up the console logging by editing logger.conf and changing console = error to console = debug,dtmf,error,event,info,notice,verbose,warning and entering logger reload When done, I have to undo the changes. It occurs to me that being able to just enter: logger reload maximum-verbosity.conf would be a useful feature and would be useful in many situations like "iax2 reload" or "extensions reload."

Something like: - debug_reload xxx would be even nicer (IMO). -- _ -- Bandwidth and Colocation Provided by http://www.api-digital.com -- New to Asterisk?

Sounds fine to me. I don't think it should be particularly difficult to implement, as long as the CLI command implementing the reload is located in the same file as the reload itself (true for most modules, but for chicken-and-egg init situations is not always true for the core). -- Tilghman Lesher Digium, Inc. | Senior Software Developer twitter: Corydon76 | IRC: Corydon76-dig (Freenode) Check us out at: www.digium.com & www.asterisk.org -- _ -- Bandwidth and Colocation Provided by http://www.api-digital.com -- New to Asterisk?

Would the ability to temporarily change logging settings from the CLI do the trick? -- Tzafrir Cohen icq#16849755 jabber:tzafrir.co...@xorcom.com +972-50-7952406 mailto:tzafrir.co...@xorcom.com http://www.xorcom.com iax:gu...@local.xorcom.com/tzafrir -- _ -- Bandwidth and Colocation Provided by http://www.api-digital.com -- New to Asterisk?

For the specific example of temporarily changing the logging level, yes. I think a generic implementation would also be valuable when debugging dialplans or endpoint configurations. Many years ago I wrote an Asterisk application that implemented an "edit" command so you could enter "edit extensions.conf" and when you exited the edit, the file would be automagically reloaded. Unfortunately I had to drop it when the client's interest waned. -- Thanks in advance, - Steve Edwards sedwa...@sedwards.com Voice: +1-760-468-3867 PST Newline Fax: +1-760-731-3000 -- _ -- Bandwidth and Colocation Provided by http://www.api-digital.com -- New to Asterisk?

Many times when trying to capture logs for a bug, you need to first modify your logger.conf, reload logger, enable debugs, reproduce, disable debug logs, edit logger.conf then reload. It would be great to do all that from the CLI. -- Paul Belanger | dCAP Polybeacon | Consultant Jabber: paul.belan...@polybeacon.com | IRC: pabelanger (Freenode) blog.polybeacon.com -- _ -- Bandwidth and Colocation Provided by http://www.api-digital.com -- New to Asterisk?
