Summary:                    [patch] ASTARGS in sysconfig not inherited as
startup options
Description: 
An option specified in /etc/sysconfig/asterisk is not passed on in ASTARGS
when starting asterisk. Two minor changes made the process work.

I'd be willing to make a bigger more complex script that uses a variable
per argument, but, I don't think it's reqired... There are plenty of init
scripts already in existance that allow OPTS or ARGS to be overridden or
extended from /etc/sysconfig/*...

I was just looking to pass an additional argument when starting asterisk
using the init script to attempt to diagnose another problem when I found
it didn't work as expected, the patch I just created to resolve this is
exactly the same as the patch attached by syspert, so I won't bother
uploading it :)...

the -x check on /etc/sysconfig/asterisk is definitely just wrong, it
should be -f, I'd guess this was probably done at some point by someone not
understanding the difference between '. /etc/sysconfig/asterisk' meaning
'source /etc/sysconfig/asterisk' and './etc/sysconfig/asterisk' meaning
execute the file asterisk in the etc/sysconfig subdirectory.

I would suggest that the attached patch is both a fix and an enhancement
that would be valid even if /etc/sysconfig/asterisk was allowed to contain
user friendly yes/no activation of specific options.
