Same here.

Ah.  The script that starts Asterisk in its own virtual console, with
'-c', so that newbies learn that good Asterisk administration involves
doing interactive work in that console.  This, of course, works great,
until their fingers slip while doing (ctrl-based) command line editing,
accidentally hit ^C, and Asterisk immediately drops everything and
quits, no questions asked.  To add insult to injury, this is the same
application that had already responded to their beginner's attempts to
exit using 'exit' and 'quit' with "user friendly" explanations of how
those commands shouldn't be used for stopping Asterisk, so please
always use STOP instead...  ;-)
