Loading Asterisk and Zaptel Quickly
If you run make config in the
Asterisk or Zaptel source directories, then the initialization scripts used to control Asterisk or Zaptel will be copied
to /etc/rc.d/init.d/. The scripts can be used to
easily load and unload Asterisk and Zaptel. They will also run the
chkconfig command for you so Asterisk
and Zaptel will be started automatically upon system boot. The following
shows their usage:
# service zaptel# service asterisk
Each initialization script has several options that can be utilized to control the PBX or the drivers. Tables 3-2 and 3-3 show the commands run by the script as if you had typed them into the command-line interface (CLI) yourself:
