the init.d init scripts bundled with asterisk are using safe_asterisk and not calling the asterisk binary directly. > E.g: because you have a valid PID file of the controlling process.

Granted, its a good idea. the init.d scripts bundled with asterisk kill safe_asterisk, which apparently works just as well (haven't looked at safe_asterisk code, but its probably killing its child when it is being killed, which should work well for any situation other then kill -9). > And you don't need physical access to the system to get to the one and > only real console.

I wasn't aware that running asterisk -r on a physical tty has any advantages over running asterisk -r on a remote shell. -- Oded Arbel Atelis [EMAIL PROTECTED] Tel: +972-54-7340014 ::..
