Summary:                    [patch] 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

dont use a bashism way to check the $VERSION variable.
The rc/init.d scripts, and safe_asterisk work on normal sh now again.
Tested on:
OpenBSD 4.2 (me)
Debian etch (me)
Ubuntu Hardy (me and loloski)
FC9 (loloski)
