is it possible to restart one instance of the multi tenant PBX without doing the others

there no 'instance' about it.. if you select restart you have just ended the asterisk process. I would not recommend doing this during usage hours.

is this because the gui triggered a 'restart' button?

no just looking at all options

it just seems like one tenant should be able to do a restart while others keep going
( for whatever resaon )

it is not an issue at first when there are few clients but like most pbx' it may be later...

when the telco has a problem just a segment of people go off line not the entire office code or area code

and the same holds true for traditional phone systems you may loose a station card which affects a few not all

get a book, or two... unix for dummies, asterisk the future of telephony etc... asterisk is a running process. you cannot kill -HUP a piece of a process. these books will help you understand a bit more about services/processes etc.

in other terms... you cannot reboot a windows RDP server and only reboot the half that RDP client A is using. a restart (reboot) is a restart, and a reload (logout/login) is a reload

well if i had read the entire 574 pages of "asterisk the future of telephony" which is on my desk i would have known that... however i am not a unix guru i own a phone company that provides service.

sorry to waste your time it was just a question
