Summary:                    [patch] Script to automatically email backtrace to
admin
Description: 
Attached asterisk_mail_backtrace.sh

It can be added in safe_asterisk with the following lines:

PID=`cat ${ASTPIDFILE}`
nice -n 10 /usr/share/asterisk/asterisk_mail_backtrace.sh $PID & 

So after asterisk crashes it's executed in background while new instance
of asterisk starts.

I'm still uncertain what's the best place to put this script and both GDB
scripts.

Why do you use "grep -A200"? Almost all my backtraces have more than 200
lines, and using a limit like that will cut valuable information of the
backtrace. Why not using awk to filter out symbol loading without cutting
the end of the file?

Instead of:
grep -A200 "Core was generated by" $BACKTRACE

Use:
awk '/Core was generated by/,0' $BACKTRACE

Other than this, great patch.
