I use this:

su - root -c '/usr/bin/screen -d -m /usr/sbin/asterisk -g'

This puts asterisk in a screen session and allows it to receive remote 
requests (asterisk -r)

the su root is required so that the screen session shows up in root's screen 
list.

Why would you want to shut down and restart asterisk every night?
