[asterisk-bugs] [JIRA] (ASTERISK-20851) Asterisk user/group flags ignored by daemon function in /etc/rc.d/init.d/functions

[Sverre G (JIRA)]

    [ https://issues.asterisk.org/jira/browse/ASTERISK-20851?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=201050#comment-201050 ] 

Sverre G commented on ASTERISK-20851:
-------------------------------------

Further info: Commenting out COLOR=yes in /etc/sysconfig/asterisk works around the problem, most likely because the syntax passed to the daemon function in /etc/rc.d/init.d/functions are different. Note that when color is NOT used, there's no additional sh -c when it's called.

	if [ "x$COLOR" = "xyes" ]; then
		export TERM=linux
		daemon sh -c "$DAEMON $ASTARGS -c" >/dev/null </dev/null 2>&1 &
	else
		daemon $DAEMON $ASTARGS
	fi

> Starting asterisk using:
