You've mentioned this twice, now, but a better way to do it is to _not_ stop FreeSwitch. Instead, run /usr/local/freeswitch/bin/fs_cli, which connects to FS, and then you can do everything that you can do directly in FS. When you are done, enter "\quit" or "\bye" or "\exit". See "\help" and "help" for more information.
