>             Project: Asterisk
>          Issue Type: Bug
>      Security Level: None
>          Components: Core/General
>    Affects Versions: SVN, 11.18.0, 13.4.0
>            Reporter: Scott Griepentrog
>            Severity: Minor

> When starting asterisk as a non-root user, if the user does not have write permission to the /var/run/asterisk directory, asterisk will fail to write the asterisk.ctl and asterisk.pid files, but still be running in the background and servicing ports.
> Asterisk -r will not function, and a script that checks the pid doesn't realize asterisk is running.  This scenario can lead to having multiple instances of asterisk running, with unexpected results.
> Recommendation: change the startup code to consider a failure to write the .ctl or .pid file as a fatal error and exit.
