When r376428 was commited to re-order start up sequences to be more tolerant of
forking with thread primitives, a few items were changed that caused changes
in behavior on some distros. This includes:
* Not displaying the splash screen on a remote console.
* Displaying an error message on stderr when a remote console cannot connect
to a running instance of Asterisk.
In the first case, the splash screen was re-added (thanks to Michael L. Young).
In the second case, the various init.d scripts were modified to pipe stderr
to /dev/null, as the error message is useful - if you execute a remote
console or a remote console command execution and it fail, it should tell
you. Note that the error message was always present, it just failed to be
printed prior to r376428.
Much thanks to the folks who quickly reported this problem, provided solutions,
and promptly tested the various init.d scripts on a variety of distros.
