Thanks for the input Seann and Steve. That is insightful. I did run chkconfig --list asterisk and following is the output:<div><div><b>[root@tel ~]# chkconfig --list asterisk</b></div><div><b>asterisk 0:off 1:off 2:on 3:on 4:on 5:on 6:off</b></div>
</div><div><br></div><div>In file /usr/sbin/safe_asterisk I have priority for asterisk set at 9. </div><div><div><b># run asterisk with this priority</b></div><div><b>PRIORITY=9</b></div></div><div><br></div><div>/var/log/messages doesn't show anything important or related to why asterisk not starting at startup. I think asterisk should start first and then amportal will start as well is asterisk does start. </div>

<br>
</div>What does "chkconfig --list asterisk" show?<br>
<br>
The "add" command looks in the asterisk script for a line that looks like:<br>
<br>
# chkconfig: 2345 98 98<br>
<br>
This says that chkconfig should create the appropriate links in the<br>
/etc/rc{x}.d/ hierarchy so that Asterisk will be started at runlevels 2,<br>
3, 4, 5 with a start priority of 98 (see "man chkconfig" for details) and<br>
a stop priority of 98. Since CentOS servers should be running at runlevel<br>
3, the 2, 4, and 5 are superfluous.<br>
<br>
If there is no such line, chkconfig will not create the appropriate links.<br>
<br>
Also, if /etc/init.d/asterisk does not have execute privileges, it will<br>
not be executed on startup and Asterisk will not be running as expected.<br>
