Reboot or Shutdown Raspbx by dialing Extension

[himala76]

Edit /etc/asterisk/extensions_custom.conf and add

[macro-shutdown]
exten => s,1,Authenticate(1234)     
exten => s,1,NoOp(Looks like we're going to shutdown!)
exten => s,n,System(/usr/bin/sudo /sbin/shutdown -h now)

[macro-reboot]
exten => s,1,Authenticate(1234)     
exten => s,1,NoOp(Looks like we're going to reboot!)
exten => s,n,System(/usr/bin/sudo /sbin/shutdown -r now)

You can change the password what ever you like digits only

go to Custom Destinations add Custom Destination

Custom Destination: macro-shutdown,s,1
Description: SHUTDOWN

Custom Destination: macro-reboot,s,1
Description: REBOOT

then go to Misc Applications add Misc Application

Description SHUTDOWN
Feature Code 3001
Feature Status Enabled

Destination
Custom Destinations Shutdown

Description REBOOT
Feature Code 3002
Feature Status Enabled

Destination
Custom Destinations REBOOT

add asterisk to sudo group by

sudo adduser asterisk sudo

then
Edit /etc/sudoers using

sudo visudo

Add lines:

asterisk ALL=(ALL:ALL) ALL
%sudo ALL= NOPASSWD: /sbin/shutdown

now reboot the system

you can dial 3001 and enter password 1234 to shutdown the pbx or dial 3002 and password 1234 to reboot the system

Hi Himala

Great tutorial and very easy to follow, thanks. I seem to be having trouble though, it appears to execute properly but my Pi2 doesn't restart or shutdown. Any ideas what I could have missed?

Raspberry Pi 2
Asterisk Ver. 11.17.0
FreePBX 12.0.65

here is my log:

Did you make the changes in /etc/sudoers and reboot? Although, I think I would have just tried adding this single line first, instead of the two that himala76 suggested - seems a bit more secure because it only removes the need for the password for the shutdown command, and doesn't allow user asterisk to sudo just anything:

asterisk ALL = NOPASSWD: /sbin/shutdown

Don't forget to reboot after making this change!

Hi VoiPuser

Yes /etc/sudoers all fine.

root@localhost:~# sudo -l -U asterisk
Matching Defaults entries for asterisk on localhost:
env_reset, mail_badpass, secure_path=/usr/local/sbin\:/usr/local/bin\:/usr/sbin\:/usr/bin\:/sbin\:/bin

User asterisk may run the following commands on localhost:
(ALL : ALL) ALL
(root) NOPASSWD: /sbin/shutdown
(ALL : ALL) ALL

[Wes]

Bit late to the party, but this doesn't work for me.
I tried using both options (himala and voipuser) for the /etc/sudoers file, rebooting after each change, but no go.
I double checked each step and everything seems to be correct.

I'm a new FreePBX user, so I don't know which log to check to see what's happening here.
Anyone able to fill me in?

Cheers.
