A running AGI script should not be terminated when the line is hung up. 
  Asterisk should send the script SIGHUP when it closes the pipe to the 
script.  After the SIGHUP is sent, attempts to communicate with asterisk 
will result in SIGPIPE.

Properly handling SIGHUP and SIGPIPE should prevent your scripts from 
automatically getting terminated.
