Not if you do "exec asterisk -r" as I did, instead of just "asterisk -r".
Using "exec" makes asterisk replace the shell that was started by "script",
and therefore auto-exits when you exit asterisk. That is why I use exec
in that way - it saves me forgetting the second exit and filling up the
script file with rubbish, or even worse, trying to edit it while it is
still active!
