The real solution is to run Asterisk as a service, but if you must have 
it run from a console then I would suggest starting it in a screen.

That is, make sure you have screen installed, run it, and then start 
asterisk.
After that disconnect from the screen session by pressing ctrl+a and then d.
To reconnect to the screen session at anytime you simply do screen -r.

The issue with simply running the asterisk command from an ssh session 
is that its process is started as a child of your remote shell.
