<div class=3D"body"><SPAN style=3D"font-size:10pt;"><br />currently in the=
system.  I assume that since we have the tty1 that you are not opposed=
to a tty2 or tty3, other than the memory usage, which I believe getty is=
fairly well behaved.</SPAN></div>
<div class=3D"body"> </div>
<div class=3D"body"><SPAN style=3D"font-size:10pt;">As for the verbose issue, if=
I start the system with the .conf file verbose out, it works fine.  I=
can then stop the service and load it with -v, or once loaded, I can set=
the set verbose just fine.  Verbosity is great.</SPAN></div>
<div class=3D"body"> </div>
<div class=3D"body"><SPAN style=3D"font-size:10pt;">Verbose is not the problem,=
but when verbose is in the .conf file (so I don't end up editing the=
/etc/init.d/asterisk file, but I have had to), the system does not fork.=
 This is a feature of asterisk and every version of asterisk that I=
have tried does not fork.  If it does not fork, then the rest of the=
init.d scripts do not run.  Asterisk runs just fine on astlinux with=
this option.  You will not notice asterisk having a problem, you=
notice that the mini-http does not load, and the console does not clear so=
getty can run.</SPAN></div>

<div class=3D"body"><SPAN style=3D"font-size:10pt;">If I keep the & in the=
/etc/init.d/asterisk file and remove the verbose=3D20 line, it runs=

<div class=3D"body"><SPAN style=3D"font-size:10pt;">If I take the & out of=
the /etc/init.d/asterisk file and keep the verbose=3D20 line, the rc init=

getty is not available and mini-http is not available.</SPAN></div>
