---------------------------------------------------------------------

Just to add some information.  When I did research on this over a year ago, when setting up my first CentOS 7 box, the consensus that I found on the mailing lists as well as on the reviewboard link that is in ASTERISK-21991, was that we should be using the scripts found in upstream rather than trying to maintain it within Asterisk itself.

It doesn't matter to me either way but it would make sense that if there is a systemd file maintained by upstream, it would be best to stick to using that.

I did a quick search this morning and it would seem that these systemd scripts can be found for both RHEL/Fedora and Debian based distributions from upstream.  Perhaps a text file should be added to point people to these sources?

For instance, here is from Fedora: http://pkgs.fedoraproject.org/cgit/rpms/asterisk.git/tree/asterisk.service
