by the way, do you consider running a fault-tolerant service with OpenSIPS/Kamailio/Repro as a border controller and two FreeSWITCH boxes behind?

Hello. Long time listener, first time caller. I have a few questions but I will split them up into different emails for the benefit of future mailing list searches. I just wanted to introduce myself first and explain what I am trying to do in case someone has some general advice for me.
I own and run a small ISP up here in Toronto, Canada. One of my offerings recently has been VOIP through another provider. I have decided to bite the bullet and have set up my own switch (Freeswitch, of course) and connected it to an aggregator, VOIP Innovations.
I have a home grown billing system that I use to provision other parts of my ISP and I am going to do the same with VOIP. I have cron jobs that check the database and, if necessary, rebuild certain configuration files and reload them. That works with the basic stuff I am doing so far.
I am running on FreeBSD 9.0-RELEASE. As I am also a NetBSD developer I would like to move it over but FreeBSD has a port and NetSBD does not yet have a package for Freeswitch. I will probably be looking at creating one eventually.
And here is my first question. I have worked around this but I am curious. Has the behaviour of fs_cli under error conditions been changed recently? It seems to me that an earlier version worked with FreeBSD's startup script but 1.2.3 fails. The issue is a command issued by the script:
/usr/local/bin/fs_cli -x "sofia recover"
The problem is that the command is issued before the switch is actually running. I am not sure what good that is. Since it fails, the startup script doesn't complete and the switch never starts. I have fixed the script so that this command runs properly but I was wondering why the switch even started up before. Did fs_cli use to always return success no matter what?
Cheers.
