asterisk users - May 2005 - Asterisk on Fedora Core 2 startup script

I need an rc script that will autorun the module for the wctdm and then
follow that by running asterisk. A first look at google tells me to try this
list.

Thanks,

I like easy questions! 

Add to /etc/rc.d:

modprobe wctdm
ztcfg -vv
su <yourasteriskuser> /usr/sbin/safe_asterisk &

where <yourasteriskuser> is the user that you normally run Asterisk under.
Omit the su <yourasteriskuser> if you are running Asterisk as root.
safe_asterisk is a watchdog script that restarts Asterisk if it craps out.
The & Ampersand runs it as a background process, returning control to the
tty and allowing you to log into the console.

Or, you could just use the pre-existing scripts:

/usr/src/zaptel/zaptel.init

and

/usr/src/asterisk/contrib/init.d/rc.redhat.asterisk

They work.

Take a look at 'make config' in both the zaptel and asterisk src
directories.
It should install the scripting necessary.

Greg,
I was never able to automatically restart asterisk in fedora core 2 
using asterisk/contrib/init.d/rc.redhat.asterisk.
I don't know if this happens only to me.

# make config
# /etc/rc.d/init.d/asterisk start
# kill -11 `cat /var/run/asterisk.pid`

asterisk doesn't restart.

I have to take off "daemon" from cmd line to make it work
