Summary:                    [patch] Portability tweaks to
contrib/scripts/safe_asterisk
Description: 
The attached patch addresses several minor issues that have to do with
improving the script's operation on non-Linux platforms:

1) Use mail instead of mailx (the latter supports specifying the subject
with -s)
2) Change several test cases to work with old versions of test
3) Change the invocation of the date(1) command to work with non-GNU
versions
4) Fix some minor bugs (such as the way id(1) is called and the order of
shell output redirects)
5) Improve the error message to be more helpful when/if Asterisk crashes.

There may be other portability issues, but this script has been tested on
OSX, Linux and OpenSolaris and works on those platforms.
