Hi Guys I am trying to setup a cronjob to reload the configuration files that are frequently changed on the server.

I can reload the configuration files using asterisk -rx reload, however when I setup the cronjob the comaand doesn’t work.

crontab

0,20,40 * * * * /usr/sbin/asterisk -rx ‘module reload’

$ asterisk -vvvvrx 'module reload’

Thank you, I had to configure the server so the cron service start after reboot.
For some reason it was not the case.
