Another way to start/monitor * is to put this in /etc/inittab:

# Run asterisk in runlevels 2-5        
A1:2345:respawn:/usr/sbin/safe_asterisk

If * dies for any reason, its automatically restarted within about
five minutes. (It also causes messages such as:
    -- Remote UNIX connection
    -- Remote UNIX connection disconnected
    -- Remote UNIX connection
    -- Remote UNIX connection disconnected
to be reported on the CLI and log files, cluttering both. Doesn't
seem to impact actual connections, etc, though.)
