[Asterisk-Users] Monitor Asterisk

[asterisk at billheckel.com]

Personally I recommend using daemontools by DJB to run asterisk.  It does a very good job of keeping 
the service alive.

What you then do instead of restart is do a stop, either now or gracefully and daemontools will 
restart it immediately.
