thanks a lot for the clarification I actually have a init.d script to restart but I will keep your method as well /Philippe On 11-03-20 02:43 PM, msc@freeswitch.org wrote:

You can restart freeswitch at your leisure. The new binary won't "hot swap" by itself. If you want to do it from the Linux cmd line or shell script you can do something like this:

fs_cli -x "fsctl shutdown elegant" sleep 20 freeswitch -nc -nonat

Of course, use a sleep value appropriate for the speed of your server and use the FS cmd line args for your config.

Hello,

This might sound like a stupid question but I can't find the answer so...

TO update Freeswitch I do

git pull

and then

make current

After that I generally restart freeswitch. But do I really need to do it? or will it somehow manage to "hot swap" with the new binary?

If I need to restart. Do I have to do it right after the update or can it wait until it is night time?

Thanks
