.TH SAFE_ASTERISK 8 "Jun 30th, 2005" "Asterisk" "Linux Programmer's Manual"
.SH NAME
.B safe_asterisk
\(em A wrapper to run the asterisk executable in a loop
.SH SYNOPSIS
.PP
.B safe_asterisk
.I [ asterisk_params ]
.SH DESCRIPTION
.B safe_asterisk
is a script that runs asterisk in a loop, which can be useful if you
fear asterisk may crash.
The script does not run in the background like a standard service. Rather,
it runs in its own linux virtual console (9, by default).
It also uses the option '-c' of asterisk(8) to avoid detaching asterisk
from that terminal.
safe_asterisk also runs asterisk with unlimited core file size, and thus
asterisk will dump core in case of a crash.
To get a "picture" of console 9, from another terminal (e.g: from a
remote shell session) you can use:
screendump 9
The init script of the Debian package should be able to run safe_asterisk
as the asterisk service, if so configured. See coments in
/etc/default/asterisk
.SH FILES
.B /tmp
.RS
safe_asterisk runs in that directory, rather than in / as usual.
.RE
.B /tmp/core
.RS
If core files were generated there, they may be
.RE
.SH BUGS
While showing the output on a console is useful, using screen(1) as
the terminal may be better.
The script does not read configuration from standard location under /etc
It uses fixed locations under /tmp , and thus may be exposed to a
symlink attacks.
