Has anyone written an asterisk startup/shutdown/status script?
The one I am talking about should be in the /etc/rc.d/init.d/ directory. See example below.

SPOOL=/var/spool/hylafax
test -f $SPOOL/etc/setup.cache || {
cat<<EOF
FATAL ERROR: $SPOOL/etc/setup.cache is missing!
The file $SPOOL/etc/setup.cache is not present. This
probably means the machine has not been setup using the faxsetup(8C)
command. Read the documentation on setting up HylaFAX before you
startup a server system.

fi
Figure out which brand of echo we have and define prompt
and printf shell functions accordingly. Note that we
assume that if the System V-style echo is not present,
then the BSD printf program is available. These functions
are defined here so that they can be tailored on a per-site,
etc. basis.
if [ echo foo\\\c@ = “foo@” ]; then
# System V-style echo supports \r
# and \c which is all that we need
printf()
{
$ECHO “$\c"
}
elif [ “echo -n foo@” = “foo@” ]; then
# BSD-style echo; use echo -n to get
# a line without the trailing newline
printf()
{
$ECHO -n "$”
}
else
# something else; do without
printf()
{
$ECHO “$*”
}
fi

killall program

Don’t use the “AUTOSTART=” or something similar in the config. Based on experience with FC5 and Deb3.1, everytime I reboot the server via init 6 and similar, asterisk shuts down and start the restart process but eventually will not go thru. Instead asterisk will start again.
Note that some distros asterisk scripts will break hard if you run asterisk manually as root, before running the script… In SuSE, asterisk runs as “asterisk” user from the script, and if you’re like me and first tried it as root to “test drive” it, all your log files get created with root permissions and prevent the startup script from working… Have to fix all the “bad” permissions…
ok… I understand that the problem is linked to file-permissions and to host-users…
you suggest me to repair “bad” permissions…
but I don’t understand on which files!
I tried another solution: I would like to copy /contrb/init.d/rc.suse.asterisk in /etc/rc.d and then Enable Asterisk at boot using Yast…
bu there isn’t rc.suse.asterisk in my Asterisk-source-files!!! I’m using 1.2.15 version…
any tip???

/var/log/asterisk
Make sure all the subdirectories and files are owned by your asterisk user.

Oh, you’re using SuSE too… All you have to do is startup yast2 (or yast, depending if you like GUI or CLI), and turn on the Asterisk system service. It handles all the pesky little details for you!
I needed [color=blue]rc.suse.asterisk[/color], usually it is in this directory: [color=blue]asterisk-version/contrib/init.d[/color]
Since it was not inside *1.2-source-cod, I take it from *1.4 and I copied it into [color=blue]/etc/rc.d[/color]!
Then, I modified /asterisk-version/Makefile adding those lines:
[color=brown]elif [ -f /etc/SuSE-release -o -f /etc/novell-release ]; then
$(INSTALL) -m 755 contrib/init.d/rc.suse.asterisk /etc/init.d/asterisk;
/sbin/chkconfig --add asterisk; [/color]
With this modifies, now I can see asterisk inside Yast->Sistem->Runlevel editor
But when I try to Enable asterisk for the boot… I’ve error like this:
[code]Starting asterisk: Asterisk ended with exit status 1
Asterisk died with code 1.
Automatically restarting Asterisk.
Asterisk ended with exit status 1
Asterisk died with code 1.

and after the boot… Asterisk is not in run-state!!!
