Summary:                    [patch] /etc/init.d/asterisk is not "Linux Standard
Base" compatible
Description: 
As we can read at
http://www.linux-foundation.org/spec/refspecs/LSB_3.0.0/LSB-Core-generic/LSB-Core-generic/iniscrptact.html:

"For all other init-script actions, the init script shall return an exit
status of zero if the action was successful. Otherwise, the exit status
shall be non-zero, as defined below. In addition to straightforward
success, the following situations are also to be considered successful":

- "running start on a service already running"

But this is not true since "/etc/init.d/asterisk start" return 1 if
Asterisk was already running. It should return 0.

In fact this is because the default behaviout of "start-stop-daemon" which
returns error (1) after "start" if the service was already running. So it
could be Debian issue.
