I accidently deleted the extensions.conf file using the RM command, I have not reloaded it since so the file must be running still in memory. How can i restore this file without disrupting service?

Thanks

You can execute a rasterisk -x “dialplan show” > /tmp/extensions.conf, but unfortunately the result cannot be directly parsed by Asterisk.
