asterisk users - Nov 2012 - * Waiting for asterisk to shutdown .............

I'm running asterisk on a small box, Intel-R-_Atom-TM-_CPU_330_ at _1.60GHz
and when I try to restart the asterisk it fails.

/etc/init.d/asterisk restart
  * Caching service dependencies ...           [ ok ]
  * Killing wrapper script ...                 [ ok ]
  * Stopping asterisk PBX gracefully ...

* Waiting for asterisk to shutdown
.............................................................
  * Failed.

When I run /etc/init.d/asterisk status
I get: "* status: started"

At this point I have to kill the process ID
"zap" it (/etc/init.d/asterisk zap)
and restart it.

Why asteriks can not shut down properly?
How can I monitor this process and restart it?

What version of Asterisk are you running?

I
don't know what's in your startup script, for I never used one, but it
says about graceful shutdown. 

It might be executing "core stop
gracefully" or maybe "core stop when convenient" 

In the first case,
Asterisk will stop receiving new commands and calls, will wait for all
current calls to disconnect and then shutdown. 

In the second case,
Asterisk will continue receiving new calls (not sure about commands),
and as soon as there are 0 active calls, it will shutdown. 

As you can
see, in the second scenario you'll rarely get to the shutdown on active
server. 

Not sure why do you kill the zap process. Does it hang up? For
when you kill it and drop all Zap calls, asterisk may already rest in
piece, if my above guess is right.
