[Asterisk-Users] Asterisk on Fedora Core 2 startup script

[Ezio Vernacotola]

Greg,
I was never able to automatically restart asterisk in fedora core 2 
using asterisk/contrib/init.d/rc.redhat.asterisk.
I don't know if this happens only to me.

# make config
# /etc/rc.d/init.d/asterisk start
# kill -11 `cat /var/run/asterisk.pid`

asterisk doesn't restart.

I have to take off "daemon" from cmd line to make it work
