Have a look at the safe_asterisk script, which should automatically be
in /usr/sbin/safe_asterisk. It does this automatically, including emailing
a notification (if you set the NOTIFY variable).

Check the script's invocation of asterisk and make sure it includes the -f
option. This in included in 1.2.19 onwards and 1.4.5 onwards.
See http://bugs.digium.com/view.php?id=9121 for details if needed.
