Description:Hi,

Ik just downloaded Asterisk 1.2.9.1 (packaged as RPM) from http://www.atrpms.net/dist/fc5/asterisk/ ans installed it on Fedora Core 5.

I started asterisk with the safe_asterisk script (from the original Digium dist). Actually this is what is called by the "service asterisk start" implementation that is packaged with this Fedora Specific RPM.

Now asterisk terminates with an error because I have not yet setup the configuration correctly (happens). Most of the configuration files are missing.....

The problem is that at this time the ONLY way to stop safe_asterisk is by killing the script explicitly using 'ps' and 'kill'.

Feature Request: If asterisk terminates because of a configuration error (like missing config file or syntax error in config file, etc.) then safe_asterisk should not retry to start the server.

****** ADDITIONAL INFORMATION ******

This is the output when I try to run asterisk manually. This gives you an idea of the errors I have (yes, they're mine to fix) and what kind of errors I mean with this request.

basjes: thanks for filing the bug, but the bug tracker is not the best tool for feature requests without patches. I suggest the following:
1) mail the asterisk-dev list mentioning those specifications and this bug #.
2) Also, if you have any funds available, please post a bounty for this feature on wiki at voip-info.org.
3) If, as a result of above steps, you have a disclaimed patch for latest trunk (new features don't go into release brances), please ask a bug-marshall or developer on #asterisk-bugs IRC channel or asterisk-dev mailing list to reopen this issue and attach the patch for review.
