Every once in a while for no apparent reason, Asterisk has been dying on me, dropping all calls in progress. There's nothing in the log file or on the Asterisk console that indicates the reason. Some days it doesn't happen at all. Other days it happens two or three times. The problem began on Friday, but the last time anything was changed on that box was at least a week before that. Any suggestions on what to do/where to look to find out what's going on and fix the problem?
What version are you running? Anything creative like VMs or other unique configurations in use?

Our server also randomly died once on Monday morning with no apparent cause. It's possible someone was exploiting this. I upgraded ours last night. -- Dave Miller http://www.justdave.net/ System Administrator, Mozilla Corporation http://www.mozilla.com/ Project Leader, Bugzilla Bug Tracking System http://www.bugzilla.org/
