[Asterisk-Users] Check and restart script..

[Scott Stingel]

Something like this can tell if asterisk is running.  You can modify it as
needed.  Doesn't match the "ps":

if [ "A`ps -e | grep asterisk | grep -v grep`" = "A" ]; then
echo
echo "It's not running"
echo
else
echo
echo "It's running"
echo
fi
