Because your OS is not executing the script?

If your OS is "CentOS" or a similar, you need to "add" the script using a 
command like:

 	sudo chkconfig --add asterisk

If your startup script specifies the run levels correctly, you're done. If 
not, you will need to specify which run levels you want Asterisk started 
and shut down. "man chkconfig" has the rest of the pieces of the puzzle.

A "non-executable" script is also a frequent "gotcha."
