A number of things I did not like about it:
1. I don't trust safe_asterisk to properly handle being run twice and
such.
2. Likewise with daemonization. safe_asterisk is still at the console.
3. You run asterisk as root. And use /var/run/asterisk.pid . Please use
a non-root user and /var/run/asterisk/asterisk.pid .
4. On 'restart' you do nothing if the process was not running. That's
not the standard semantics.
5. Even if a pid file exists, it does not mean that the process listed
in it is your process.
In short:
A. Don't re-invent start-stop-daemon.
B. Let's just move to upstart/systemd so there won't be a need for this
stupid guardian "safe" asterisk.
