<pre style="white-space: pre-wrap; white-space: -moz-pre-wrap; white-space: -pre-wrap; white-space: -o-pre-wrap; word-wrap: break-word;">Why do we reinvent the wheel and not just use /etc/asterisk/startup.d ? If the user wants to override values, the user should drop a file in /etc/asterisk/startup.d .</pre>

<pre style="margin: 0; padding: 0; white-space: pre-wrap; white-space: -moz-pre-wrap; white-space: -pre-wrap; white-space: -o-pre-wrap; word-wrap: break-word;">See patch.
The patched safe_asterisk is supposed to read values from safe_asterisk.conf, but it never did. It tried to grep a directory (non-recursively).
This fixes that search (and makes the code less ugly).
But, there are a few other points that I'd like to address:
- Why did someone use "#"-comments in the configs/safe_asterisk.conf.sample? We use ";"-commands everywhere else? (And the first line isn't commented out?)
- I'd rather see a debian style "defaults" file read: if [ -f /etc/defaults/safe_asterisk ]; then source /etc/defaults/safe_asterisk; fi. Then the parsing gets delegated to the shell and we can make things dynamic if we want. But that might be too debian/ubuntu specific. What do other OS-es do?
- The file has vim:tabstop=4. That's wrong. If you want tabs of 4 spaces, use 4 spaces (sts=4:sw=4:(et)). It also has textwidth=80, but the authors didn't respect it. Let the line go, or use it.
- I see now that UMASK was checked down the file. Missed that one.
- NOTIFY default should be root. Not empty. The admin will have root aliased to a real e-mail address.
- I'd put DUMPDROP/chdir in /var/spool/asterisk (not /tmp). That's supposed to exist. And if you want, you can restrict access to the asterisk user. But that's open for debate.
- If set TTY= is set, asterisk output is redirected to ttyN, but safe_asterisk echo's still go to stdout/stderr (but only if the terminal that run_asterisk() was started on is still open and reading from those pipes (the reason why we need to trap PIPE)). All those echo's should go or be redirected to $TTY. And run_asterisk & should get a >/dev/null 2>&1.
But other than that I'm perfectly happy with it. The automatic restart with mailings about why, have been quite useful.</pre>
