[Asterisk-Users] CTRL+D exits Asterisk immediately

[Ray Russell Reese III]

I'd also like to make the comment that you don't need to run Asterisk 
exclusively in console mode all the time.  More than likely for production 
purposes you'll want to run Asterisk as a daemon and then connect to it using 
-r on the command line.  At that point, CTRL+D only kills the remote 
connection to the Asterisk server, and not the Asterisk server itself.
