The Asterisk Launcher is an AppleScript Studio application, the code  
is executed by the AppleScript engine in MacOS X and that is CPU  
independent. It's akin to running a Perl script. The runloop that is  
wrapped around it by Xcode when building AppleScript Studio apps is  
PPC but that has absolutely no impact on how it performs or functions.

The Asterisk Launcher is designed to look for the executable where a  
default build of Asterisk places it, that is /usr/sbin/asterisk. I  
would call that the correct location. When we made the tools and the  
installers, we had a debate on whether we should place things in  
different places (more BSDish places) but decided against it  
precisely to avoid situations like this one.

I suggest you follow the example and build/configure your asterisk  
executable such that it uses default locations.

Otherwise, start/stop/reload via CLI or use the Sunrise build.
