[asterisk-users] 100% CPU after upgrade. (Solved)

[Mike Diehl]

I had meant to post a follow up to this, but just... didn't.  Sorry.

Anyway, I had made a silly change to my safe_asterisk script that caused it to 
start asterisk in the background, but also with a console.  This caused 
asterisk to try to write to a non-existent console tty.

Dumb mistake on my part.

Hope this helps someone else.

Mike.
