Looks like "exit" will release you from the * console but not stop * from running when I start * with "asterisk -vvvc". Then "asterisk -r" to reconnect.

I like to use the "screen" command to preface other console grabing prgs.

screen -A -m -d -S asterisk asterisk -vvvc

then 

screen -r asterisk

connects you to the screen you just called "-S asterisk".

You use key binding similar to minicom to do things... so to release your screen from running * while in a "screen" session (and not kill the *), just "<ctrl>+a" then hit "d" to detatch.
