[asterisk-users] Having problem getting Asterisk to work on CentOS 7

[Eric Wieling]

This is what I hacked up for my CentOS 7 Asterisk server.   It does NOT act
like safe_asterisk.

[Unit]
Description=Asterisk PBX and telephony daemon
Documentation=man:asterisk(8)
After=network-online.target multi-user.target

[Service]
Type=simple
User=root
Group=root
Environment=HOME=/var/lib/asterisk
WorkingDirectory=/var/lib/asterisk
ExecStart=/usr/sbin/asterisk -f -C /etc/asterisk/asterisk.conf
ExecStop=/usr/sbin/asterisk -rx 'core stop now'
ExecReload=/usr/bin/asterisk -rx 'core reload'

[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target
