The main asterisk process, when not daemonized, behaves that way, I
guess. However asterisk -r does not respect ctrl-d as a hint for "end of
file" (end of standard input) .

BTW: there is another way in which asterisk -c is not a standard
process:

start a xterm/putty window, connect as root and run a new asterisk -c

in another terminal run asterisk -rv . Now, what happens there when you
close that xterm window without stopping asterisk first: will asterisk
exit like any proper interactive program does when it loses its
controlling terminal? no.
