Asterisk 1.4.21.1 (Current branch)
07-09-2008
Asterisk is a hybrid TDM and packet voice PBX (Private Branch eXchange) and IVR platform with ACD functionality. It acts as middleware between the Internet (IAX, SIP, MGCP, Skinny, H.323), telephony channels (like Zaptel, T1, PRI, E1, FXO, FXS, VoIP, VoFR, ISDN, modems, Internet Phone Jack, etc.), and applications (like voice-mail, conferencing, directories, MP3 players, intercoms, etc.). It has many advanced features such as a codec translation API. The base distribution includes several channel backends, as well as applications. However, the beauty of Asterisk is its ability to be extended using its APIs, dynamic module loader, and AGI scripting interface. End users can even write their own applications that run on the system in C or any scripting language of their choice.|

ASTMAN(1) Linux Programmer's Manual ASTMAN(1) NAME
astman -- a client to asterisk's manager interface SYNOPSIS
astman hostname DESCRIPTION
astman This program is a full-screen (terminal) client for Asterisk's manager interface. OPTIONS
hostname The host name or IP address to connect to (TCP port 5038). If astman fails to connect it will exit immidiately. USAGE
If astman has successfully cunnected to the manager port it will prompt the user for a username and a secret (password) for the manager interface on the remote Asterisk manager interface. It will then be able to report existing channels (calls). You will then be able to re- direct calls to or terminate them. SEE ALSO
asterisk(8) http://www.voip-info.org/wiki-Asterisk+astman BUGS
The hostname does not default to localhost. Impossible to use a port other than 5038. The username and password cannot be defined from the command-line. I mean, what's the point in a man page if the syntax is so simple? AUTHOR
