Greetings I have found an issue today on a pure dial install out in a Data Center environment where service asterisk stop and service asterisk start did not work.. Anyone else having these issues with Dial?

Here is some other commands i tried instead..
root@hub:/etc/init.d# ./asterisk status
● asterisk.service - LSB: Asterisk PBX

As you see above i still received failures to stop and start asterisk using even this method 

Any thoughts?

Anyone had any luck porting any of this to centos 7?

Considering making it part of a nethserver project i have been working on..
