Freeswitch is not crashing when you do that, its restarting. fs_cli uses a socket connection to mod_event_socket which gets unloaded when FreeSWITCH is restarting… This is normal expected behavior… if you want fs_cli to auto-restart theres a runtime arg for that (check fs_cli -r for all the args) From: freeswitch-users-bounces@lists.freeswitch.org [mailto:freeswitch-users-bounces@lists.freeswitch.org] On Behalf Of Nduwayezu, Joselyne Sent: Wednesday, May 18, 2016 7:37 AM To: FreeSWITCH Users Help <freeswitch-users@lists.freeswitch.org> Subject: [Freeswitch-users] freeswitch crashes Hello, Why freeswitch crashes when i type fsctl shutdown restart in CLI? it telles: Socket Interrupted, Bye How to resolve the problem ?
