[arm-allstar] Unexpected restart

[Doug Crompton]

I assume what you mean by Alison startup is the message that gives the IP address?
We start Asterisk with safe_asterisk which does force a restart of Asterisk should there be a rare hang problem.

To see how long Asterisk itself has been running enter the client -

asterisk -rvvv

core show uptime

The uptime also shows on the lsnodes display.

Also if you are using any of the boards remotely if would be a good idea to turn on the watchdog in  /usr/local/etc/allstar.env   This would force a restart if the processor hung for some reason. I would also probably turn on the system and/or asterisk restart DTMF commands which can be changed to whatever sequence you want.
