Why not just bite the bullet and move to a supported Linux? - you can be assured that it works - updates are tested - help and support is readily available. - only takes a few minutes to install the whole setup - configuration should port easily. There is almost no Linux administration required once it is set up so getting deep into the actual OS is not required. I have used CentOS (5.x and 6.x) for years without any problems. I have not tried it with CentOS 7 and would recommend sticking with the latest CentOS 6 for a while yet. I am converting the rest of my datacenter to 7 starting with the main firewall/router and a virtual host. Firewall is now in production but it was a bit of a learning curve for me. There are big differences between 6 and 7 and I would let some other Asterisk users switch before going to 7. Free advice and worth every cent! Ron On 12/02/2015 9:25 AM, D'Arcy J.M.

That might be more efficient than waiting for a cron job to check it and restart. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

I will do that and wait for the next crash. Thanks. -- D'Arcy J.M. Cain System Administrator, Vex.Net http://www.Vex.Net/ IM:darcy at Vex.Net VoIP: sip:darcy at Vex.Net
I would love to run Asterisk on a BSD system. I do not know of any developers
actively working on Asterisk on a BSD platform, though my knowledge isn't
comprehensive.
It may be worth talking to the people doing the packaging for various BSD
platforms, to see how involved they are, or if they know of people developing it
directly. jnemeth at netbsd for pkgsrc, madpilot at freebsd for ports/dports,
and sthen at openbsd for OpenBSD ports, for example. I know you're
developing on NetBSD, but correcting for "not-Linux" would help
everyone.

Subject: [asterisk-users] Is Asterisk a Linux only system?
I know that it runs on other systems but do other ports get the same attention?
I have been running it on a NetBSD server for about a year now and while it
mostly works it just crashes from time to time with no explanation or core dump.
I have improved the situation by expanding my intrusion detection but it still
stops every few days or so. I have a cron job that tests for it and restarts it
when necessary.
Anyone else have experience on non-Linux systems?
Cheers.

Linux of course and a smattering of folks on OSX doing the odd thing.
