It suits me to run it that way on the device concerned.

If you leave the defaults as they are (dictated by (!) in asterisk.conf)
then the behaviour you get is Asterisk looking to /var/run/asterisk
which the OS deletes on reboot. The question is why is this the default
behaviour when it breaks systems that clear /var/run

This was - btw - a compile from source, not packaged offering.
