[Asterisk-Users] vserver (Debian) - no tty: howto use /usr/sbin/safe_asterisk with "-c" for color CLI?

[Robert Michel]

Salve *!

I'm using asterisk for a while and now I want to have a colord CLI.
I have apt-get install asterisk/testing, that is asterisk 1.2.7.1

I use Debian stable/testing on a vserver with any /dev/tty*.
So, of course, I comment out "#TTY=9" inside /usr/sbin/safe_asterisk.

/etc/init.d/asterisk start
 calls
/usr/sbin/safe_asterisk

root      5757     1  0  1149 1348   0 16:08 pts/30   00:00:00 /bin/sh/usr/sbin/safe_asterisk -g -vvv -U asterisk
asterisk  5758  5757  0  4502 7992   0 16:08 pts/30   00:00:00  \_/usr/sbin/asterisk -g -vvv -U asterisk


When I start asterisk by hand with "asterisk -cgvvv" 
I got a colored CLI ;) 

but inside /usr/sbin/safe_asterisk (started by
/etc/init.d/asterisk - with "-U asterisk") 
or inside /etc/init.d/asterisk itself all my tries
to use "-c" as additional parameter faild. ;(

E.g. I changed line 52 inside etc/init.d/asterisk
PARAMS="$PARAMS -U $USER"
PARAMS="$PARAMS -c -U $USER"


This does run the CLI  with color :)
also with color for asterisk -rcvvv

*but* there is an fast running repeating output
after running /etc/init.d/asterisk start

 Use EXIT or QUIT to exit the asterisk console
 Use EXIT or QUIT to exit the asterisk console
 Use EXIT or QUIT to exit the asterisk console
 [...] 


The handycap of vserver is, that as root at guest you can't creat devices
yourself. I think asterisk is also reading from /dev/tty9, so a
ls -s /dev/null /dev/tty9  does not help (tested).

Does somebody have an idea how to deal with this?
Can I run asterisk with color CLI without a TTY*?
