I noticed safe_asterisk is nolonger used from the init.d script (on
ubuntu) for asterisk-1.6.0-beta9. I'm curious if there is another
init.d script out there, or even the best way to call safe_asterisk.
Or is safe_asterisk nolonger the script of choice for starting,
restart asterisk.

One of the main reason we like it, is the email notification if it crashes.

Thanks,
PB

I believe Ubuntu is in the process of migrating from sysvinit to
Upstart. Upstart is supposed to be capable of monitoring services to
ensure they don't fail, so I suspect this is likely to be the reason
behind the safe_asterisk script not being used.

upstart can fall back to use init.d scripts.

The init.d script of the ubuntu package (and of the Debian one. IIRC
it's the same) behaves IMHO better in the presence of safe_asterisk,
generates the run dir with proper permissions if it doesn't exist, etc.

I'd recommend that you use it rather than the current one from the
Asterisk package.
