asterisk users - Apr 2009 - Asterisk routine maintenance activities

Hello(s),
I know this might be test book question or one best suited for google but I
will take the risk of asking. Here I go. What common
routine maintenance tasks do you run on your asterisk box?

Thanks
James.

None.

I configure Asterisk to log everything to syslog on a central loghost. All 
of the AGIs connect to a separate (MySQL) database server to read call 
setup information and keep call state. All CDRs are written to the 
database.

When we need to take a host out of production, we update OpenSER's 
dispatcher to stop sending calls to the host. When there are no calls 
left, we update the OS and Asterisk.

Thanks in advance,

It could be a pre-1.6 advice but I still stick to it.
I did it to all my production Asterisk servers.

A simple logrotate file takes care of that.
