<div style="text-align: left;">This is the right place to ask the question: what is the best practice to run asterisk safe_asterisk-like method, but without _using_ safe_asterisk shell script. Actually, what is safe-asterisk doing? It restarts asterisk process and renames core dumps for better understanding of the scenario of crashing. I'm using stable debian, obviously there is no upstart, neither systemd (@ squeeze, of course), so for restarting asterisk i can use runit or something like this. How about this, guys, is somebody using runit (or similliar software) in production. For core dumps, i've read that you can tweak a little bit sysctl.conf</div>

Safe_asterisk refers to the bash script /usr/sbin/safe_asterisk which is<br>
installed by all Asterisk installs whether by rpm, tar or svn. It does<br>
exhibit daemon-like behavior in that it is run as a background process and<br>
will restart itself if you kill it incorrectly.<br>

Note that systems with upstart / systemd will do that more relibly. If<br>
you run asterisk under one of those, use a plain upstart / systemd init<br>
config rather than a legacy sysv init.d script and avoid using<br>
safe_asterisk.<br>

We should consider updating the Makefile in asterisk trunk to start using them. More and more OS are starting to support them.<span class="HOEnZb"><font color="#888888"><br>
