[Asterisk-Users] executing a reload under stress in Asterisk
Fellow list members, I was wondering if anyone else out there has had issues with Asterisk after doing a reload with a number of users on. I fixed a minor bug in my dial plan and did a reload, and I seemed to have a corrupt config file afterwards. I am also considering there may have been some kind of an issue with copying the files. I keep a seperate copy on a test server, and I copied over to Asterisk before doing the reload. I was getting errors that were basically indicating parts of my dial plan were missing (error indicated I was sending control to priorities that did not exist but they should have). I stopped Asterisk and rebooted the machine and the errors still occured. I copied the files over from my test machine a second time, restarted Asterisk, and everything worked beautifully (as it had on the test machine during the whole process). I have some concern the reload may have been related to this problem, which is serious because it pretty much took down our ability to take calls. It seems like it could have been an error occuring in the process of copying hte files also. For the record I ftp the files between machines to a seperate directory and then "cp" them into the asterisk config directory. Any feedback especially on doing reloads with high call volume and using queues etc, would be appreciated.

My guess would be the issue most likely happened in copying the config file over. Why don't you use something like SCP (Secure Copy).. it's like SSH... but for files.
