Matthew Jordan a3e7a77a82 Update init.d scripts to handle stderr; readd splash screen for remote consoles
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.

messages-expire.pl

messages-expire finds messages more than X days old and deletes them. 
Because the older messages will be the lower numbers in the folder (msg0000
will be older than msg0005), just deleting msg0000 will not work. 
expire-messages then runs a routine that goes into every folder in every
mailbox to reorganize.  If the folder contains msg0000, no action is taken. 
If the folder does not, the rename routine takes the oldest message and
names it msg0000, the next oldest message and names it msg0001 and so on.

The file deletion is done by the -exec parameter to 'find'.  It would be far
more efficient to take the output from 'find' and just reorganize the
directories from which we deleted a file.  Something for the future...

Keep in mind that messages are deleted at the beginning of the script you
will have mailbox trouble if you check messages before the script
reorganizes your mailbox.

To use it, make sure the paths are right.  Adjust $age (originally set to
31) if necessary.
