Definitely.

I have this in my crontab:

@reboot screen -dmS festival festival --server
@reboot screen -dmS asterisk /usr/local/sbin/ast_start

The @reboot syntax might be a Debian thing.  The same could be done in a
startup script though.  The nice part is, resuming asterisk is as simple
as:

screen -r ast
