Hello, i asked myself and wasn’t able too find the answer so i ask here.
When Asterisk is stopped does it unload modules like it loads them at launch ?

Depends on whether you are shutting down nicely, or not:

github.com

asterisk/asterisk/blob/master/main/asterisk.c#L2010


	return 1;
}
/*! Called when exiting is certain. */
static void really_quit(int num, shutdown_nice_t niceness, int restart)
{
	int active_channels;
	struct ast_json *json_object = NULL;
	int run_cleanups = niceness >= SHUTDOWN_NICE;
	if (run_cleanups && modules_shutdown()) {
		ast_verb(0, "Some modules could not be unloaded, switching to fast shutdown\n");
		run_cleanups = 0;
	}
	if (!restart) {
		ast_sd_notify("STOPPING=1");
	}
	if (ast_opt_console || (ast_opt_remote && !ast_opt_exec)) {
		ast_el_write_default_histfile();
		if (consolethread == AST_PTHREADT_NULL || consolethread == pthread_self()) {
