[asterisk-users] ASTSBINDIR not being picked up by safe_asterisk

[Mark Hulber]

Great, do you know of any other files outside of 
/usr/lib/asterisk/modules that get recreated?  I also place 
rc.redhat.asterisk as "asterisk" in /etc/rc.d/init.d  I don't see that 
safe_asterisk_restart gets placed anywhere.  It looks like astgenkey and 
autosupport both get written over.
