What’s the difference between “amportal restart” and “service asterisk restart” (or “/etc/init.d/asterisk restart”)?
(I asked on the Asterisk forum and they directed me here, said amportal was unique to FreePBX.)
amportal restarts Asterisk and makes sure it runs as the Asterisk user along with restarting any FreePBX related services like FOP.
amportal restart
