I just compiled asterisk on debian etch.
/etc/init.d/asterisk start loads it fine and i can connect to CLI with
#asterisk -rvvv
after following the book (asterisk - future of voip) i put a sample extension.conf
[globals]
[general]
autofallthrough=yes
[default]
[incoming_calls]
[internal]
[phones]
include => internal
the book tell me to reload with “dialplan reload” command, but when i do that, I get no such command.
