I did notice this thread (unanswered):
http://groups.google.com/group/Asterisk-users/browse_thread/thread/d17d88c464a14945/f0c8ca6ccbc3b8a2?lnk=st&q=zaptel+reload&rnum=3#f0c8ca6ccbc3b8a2

I noticed in the link above that "zaptel reload" fixed the issue in
that case so I am thinking it may work in mine. So here is my script
so far.

#!/bin/bash

/usr/sbin/asterisk -rx "stop when convenient"
while /bin/ps ax | /bin/grep '[s]afe_asterisk' >/dev/null; do sleep 5; done

/etc/init.d/zaptel reload;

/etc/init.d/asterisk start;
