The Asterisk package included with Debian already does that.

There are a number of options that only work that way (real-time priority, special socket permissions, IIRC). Alternatively you can use other mans to change to that user (--chuid or start-stop-daemon or User: and Group: in a systemd service file, or whatever). And then you don't need those options. > Privilege escalation protection disabled! > See https://wiki.asterisk.org/wiki/x/1gKfAQ for more details. Read that text.

This is mostly harmless, but not if you want to have core files (see also -g) and maybe a few other minor things. > Asterisk already running on /var/run/asterisk/asterisk.ctl. Use 'asterisk > -r' to connect. Because you already ran that command before. Or already have the system copy of asterisk running. Or whatever.
