Summary:                    rc.debian.asterisk ubuntu 8.04 hardy
Description: 
Good day, today i stumble on hardy as to how asterisk would start, i found
out that this particular section of script

	if [ "${VERSION:0:8}" = "Asterisk" ]; then # otherwise "Unable t"
 		echo "Asterisk is already running.  $0 will exit now."
 		exit 1
 	fi

is not applicable if your are using a #!/bin/sh interpreter instead of
#!/bin/bash, on redhat system or equivalent /bin/sh is a symlink of
/bin/bash


a simple fix for this is to replace #!/bin/sh with #!/bin/bash or please
see attached patch for details
