</span>The Asterisk package included with Debian already does that. Why not<br>
have a look at it?<br>

</span>The options -U and -G are for the case of running Asterisk as root and<br>
having Asterisk change user and group afterwards. There are a number of<br>
options that only work that way (real-time priority, special socket<br>
permissions, IIRC).<br>
<br>
Alternatively you can use other mans to change to that user (--chuid or<br>
start-stop-daemon or User: and Group: in a systemd service file, or<br>
whatever). And then you don't need those options.<br>

</span>Read that text. But it is irrelevant for your situation.<br>

<br>
</span>/root is not accessible by the user asterisk. This is mostly harmless,<br>
but not if you want to have core files (see also -g) and maybe a few<br>
other minor things.<br>

<br>
</span>Because you already ran that command before. Or already have the system<br>
copy of asterisk running. Or whatever.<br>
<br>
Reading error messages helps.<br>
