I have two potential issues with this:
1. "concise" tend to better fit in a 80-column terminal (such as the
Linux console).
2. asterisk -rx "just works" if you're a local root. manager requires
extra setup.
As for (2), I consider what Debian did for mysql - add an extra account
on install-time who can connect from localhost only. The password for it
is written in a separate mysql client file that only root can read:
# cat /etc/mysql/debian.cnf
# Automatically generated for Debian scripts. DO NOT TOUCH!
[client]
host = localhost
user = debian-sys-maint
password = <some-randome-blabla>
socket = /var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock
[mysql_upgrade]
user = debian-sys-maint
password = <same-above-random-blabla>
socket = /var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock
basedir = /usr
So, what would be the equivalent for the manager interface? Quite
implementation-dependent. It's quite tricky to even assure a specific
account will be injected into manager.conf .
