Summary:                    safe_asterisk fails to restart asterisk after crash
Description: 
If safe_asterisk is started from a terminal, it works as expected. If it is
started from the init script, it will not restart the asterisk process. I
believe this is due to safe_asterisk writing to stderr when it is not being
redirected anywhere. The init script that calls safe_asterisk should
redirect stderr because I don't think the daemon function does.

tested on CentOS 4.5

A temporary fix that seemed to work, however this bypasses initlog
competely:

In /etc/init.d/asterisk:

Change:

daemon $DAEMON $ASTARGS

to:

nohup $DAEMON $ASTARGS
