Anything particularly wrong with 

while [ 1 ] ; do /path/to/asterisk -vvvgcf ; sleep 1 ; done

?  Stopping it might be a pain but that's easy to add in.

I have just this morning run into an asterisk box (phonejack PCI and X100P 
fxo) which seemed to forget about the FXS port entirely.  It was otherwise 
up and running fine, but had to be restarted.

I bypassed the asterisk box for the day so my wife wouldn't have to put up 
with spotty phone service.  :-)
