Description:The variable ALTCONF is ignored when defined at file /etc/default/asterisk.

The start command prints following message:

{code}
root@XXXXX:/var/log/asterisk# service asterisk start
root@XXXXX:/var/log/asterisk# service asterisk status
● asterisk.service - LSB: Asterisk PBX
  Loaded: loaded (/etc/init.d/asterisk)

  CGroup: /system.slice/asterisk.service
          └─4279 /usr/sbin/asterisk -C "/etc/asterisk/asterisk.conf" -g -v -F

{code}

If we consider that can't has space in the path of file, then
the workaround is to remove the quotes around ALTCONF at file /etc/init.d/asterisk

{code}
       if [ $ALTCONF ]; then
               ASTARGS="$ASTARGS -C \"$ALTCONF\""
       fi
{code}
to
{code}
       if [ $ALTCONF ]; then
               ASTARGS="$ASTARGS -C $ALTCONF"
       fi
{code}
