[Freeswitch-users] Improving freeswitch init script for fedora/centos/redhat/amazon-linux

[Jun Sun]

I'm porting freeswitch to amazon linux running on an EC2 instance.  And I
have installed the following fedora init script to automatically start/stop
freeswitch.

https://wiki.freeswitch.org/wiki/Freeswitch_init

However I notice that this script does not work reliably.  Specifically
restart does not always do the job.

I looked in and did some experiments.  It appears "freeswitch -stop" does
not kill the daemon reliably. It is especially so when freeswitch is just
starting.

So I add some code to do the killing more persistently.  I also added
"status" command. It is tested on amazon linux.  I'm sure it will work on
fedora and centos.  Hopefully it can be of help to others in the similar
suite.
