             Summary: contrib: rc.archlinux.asterisk uses invalid redirect.
                 Key: ASTERISK-30449
                 URL: https://issues.asterisk.org/jira/browse/ASTERISK-30449
             Project: Asterisk
          Issue Type: Bug
      Security Level: None
          Components: Contrib/General
    Affects Versions: GIT
            Reporter: Sean Bright


{{rc.archlinux.asterisk}}, which explicitly requests bash in its shebang, uses the following command syntax:

{noformat}
${DAEMON} -rx "core stop now" > /dev/null 2&>1
{noformat}

The intent of which is to execute:

{noformat}
${DAEMON} -rx "core stop now"
{noformat}

While sending both stdout and stderr to {{/dev/null}}. Unfortunately, because the {{&}} is in the wrong place, {{bash}} is interpreting the {{2}} as just an additional argument to the {{${DAEMON}}} command and not as a file descriptor and then uses the bashism {{&>}} to send stderr and stdout to a file named {{1}}.

So we clean it up and just use bash's shortcut syntax.

Issue raised and a fix suggested (but not used) by peutch on GitHub.
