I suppose asterisk.conf is not read on a reload. IIUC it is read before the rest of the configuration. Another small thing that makes it slightly different: In any other configuration file you can either have '#include relative/path' or '#include /absolute/path' to include files. A relative path would be relative to $astetcdir. However when reading asterisk.conf, $astetcdir is not set yet, and thus '#include relative/path' would generally not work as expected. -- Tzafrir Cohen +972-50-7952406 mailto:tzafrir.co...@xorcom.com http://www.xorcom.com -- _____________________________________________________________________ -- Bandwidth and Colocation Provided by http://www.api-digital.com -- Check out the new Asterisk community forum at: https://community.asterisk.org/ New to Asterisk?
