[Asterisk-Users] Asterisk as non root

[Chris Lee]

I followed the wiki instructions: 
http://www.voip-info.org/wiki-Asterisk+non-root

Now I have a working asterisk running as user asterisk.
I do however have some problems:
1: I dont have access via asterisk -r
2: The pid file is no longer being updated
3: I want to create a file in init.d so that I can use service start and 
stop, but need to be able to pass asterisk the gracefully command etc, 
any ideas welcome. maybe: "asterisk -rx stop gracefully" etc

Regards
Chris
