> Command-line parameters are processed before {{asterisk.conf}} is read.  This causes asterisk to go against the expectation that any command-line options will override configured options.
> For example, if your {{asterisk.conf}} contains:
> {noformat}
> [options]
> verbose=0
> debug=0
> {noformat}
> Then run {{asterisk -cvvvddd}}, you will see that your verbose and debug are set to 0:
> {noformat}
> *CLI> core set verbose 3
> Console verbose was OFF and is now 3.
> *CLI> core set debug 3
> Core debug was OFF and is now 3.
> {noformat}
> A few exceptions exist, but for the most part if you set something in {{asterisk.conf}}, the equivalent command-line option will do nothing.
> I'm fairly confident the current behaviour of Asterisk is wrong, but I'm not sure if it's OK to fix in 11/13.  I'm can patch this, I'd just like guidance on what versions it should be applied to.  The possible issue I can see is if an init script uses an unwanted option, and an admin has used {{asterisk.conf}} to override it.
