[asterisk-bugs] [JIRA] (ASTERISK-26619) Both AST_ARGS and ASTARGS used in /etc/init.d script

[Telford Tendys (JIRA)]

    [ https://issues.asterisk.org/jira/browse/ASTERISK-26619?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=233885#comment-233885 ] 

Telford Tendys commented on ASTERISK-26619:
-------------------------------------------

I searched inside Redhat's Bugzilla. Seems there was a bug with identical problem back in 2011 for RHEL-6 (almost identical to CentOS-6) and asterisk package version asterisk-1.8.6.0-4.fc16

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=666081

Unfortunately, although supposedly fixed, I see exactly the same confusion between AST_ARGS and ASTARGS variable names.

Seems like it never really got fixed... I will go to the Bugzilla and try my luck.

Thanks again...

> Very likely this is a mistake. In testing it shows that changing the value of AST_USER inside /etc/sysconfig/asterisk has no effect on the running program because the arguments are lost in the script.
