Summary:                    contributed init.d file has wrong pid location
Description: 
In contrib/init.d/rc.redhat.asterisk the location of the pid file doesn't
match what is in the default asterisk.conf.

In asterisk.conf there is a "astrundir=/var/run/asterisk" therefore by
default the asterisk pid will be stored in /var/run/asterisk/asterisk.pid.

Therefore in contrib/init.d/rc.redhat.asterisk there should be a line:

<pre>
   # pidfile: /var/run/asterisk/asterisk.pid
</pre>

But unfortunately the killproc function will not know where the pid is
stored.  So the following should be added/changed also:

<pre>
   piddir=`awk '$1=="astrundir"{print $3}' $AST_CONFIG`
   ...
   killproc -p $piddir/asterisk.pid `basename $DAEMON`
</pre>

Otherwise asterisk will never get terminated properly.
