Summary:                    [patch] asterisk -rx 'core show version' returns an
ANSI string, which is not evaluated correctly with debian init.d script.
Description: 
this fails and tries to restart asterisk, although it's already
running.<pre>
 start)
        # Check if Asterisk is already running.  If it is, then bug out,
because
        # starting up Asterisk when Asterisk is already running is very
bad.
        VERSION=`${DAEMON} -rx 'core show version' || ${TRUE}`
        if [ "`echo $VERSION | cut -c 1-8`" = "Asterisk" ]; then
                echo "Asterisk is already running.  $0 will exit now."
                exit 1
        fi
 ...
     # "start-stop-daemon --oknodo" returns 0 even if Asterisk was already
running (as LSB expects):
        start-stop-daemon --start --oknodo --exec $DAEMON --
$ASTARGS</pre>

      Remove color when executing commands via a remote console.
      
      Essentially this makes '-x' imply '-n' on rasterisk.  This was done
in a
      different and incomplete way previously, which I'm reverting here.
