5.3. Starting and Stopping Asterisk
Problem
What is the best way to stop and start Asterisk? Does it need to be restarted when you change configuration files, or can you reload changes without disrupting service?
Solution
There are several ways to stop and start Asterisk, depending on what you want to do. You'll have two different command interfaces to use: the Linux command line, and the Asterisk command console. You should use the Asterisk console to control Asterisk.
After installing Asterisk, first reboot the system, then check to see if it is running with ps:
$ ps ax | grep asteriskIt should be, if you ran the make
config command during installation, because this creates the
files necessary to start up automatically at boot.
Then, all you do is attach to the running Asterisk server and open the console with this command:
