Description:At least for RedHat Linux systems, the current Asterisk init.d file does not allow users to specify a configuration folder different from /etc/asterisk.  It would be great if the init.d file allowed users to start the Asterisk service with the -C option...

Try this patch

The patch worked partially fine.  The Asterisk service did start looking at the value specified by AST_CONFIG for the new asterisk.conf file.  

However, the init.d/asterisk file keeps checking for the existence of /etc/asterisk ... even if that directory will not be used.  Would it be possible to remove the following lines from init.d/asterisk?  Or at least modify them so that they check for the new file speficied?

Here are the "problem lines":

if ! [ -d /etc/asterisk ] ; then
       echo "ERROR: /etc/asterisk directory not found"
       exit 0
fi

Best,

.L.

Might as well go for the full set of options

Please test.  This should allow you to place your customizations into /etc/sysconfig/asterisk.
