What does "chkconfig --list asterisk" show?

The "add" command looks in the asterisk script for a line that looks like:

 	# chkconfig: 2345 98 98

This says that chkconfig should create the appropriate links in the 
/etc/rc{x}.d/ hierarchy so that Asterisk will be started at runlevels 2, 
3, 4, 5 with a start priority of 98 (see "man chkconfig" for details) and 
a stop priority of 98. Since CentOS servers should be running at runlevel 
3, the 2, 4, and 5 are superfluous.

If there is no such line, chkconfig will not create the appropriate links.

Also, if /etc/init.d/asterisk does not have execute privileges, it will 
not be executed on startup and Asterisk will not be running as expected.
