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
       redirect calls to or terminate them.

SEE ALSO

       asterisk(8)

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?
