I suppose I could do something like this. I supposed I could just close the terminal window. I run Asterisk on a headless server, and ssh into it via X on my desktop (aterm terminal window). After the ssh connection is established, I can check up on Asterisk. I did this yesterday by typing "asterisk -r" since asterisk was already running in the background. I got a console and a CLI prompt. I diddle and did what I needed to do at the moment. And then thought, "gee... I'd like to close the term window out." So, in my Linux logic, I figured it would be as simple as getting out of the Asterisk console, back to a command line, exiting superuser, exiting my ssh session and exiting my aterm windown in X here on my desktop. Typing "quit" (or "exit") at the CLI prompt, though, returns this message: The QUIT and EXIT commands may no longer be used to shutdown the PBX. Please use STOP NOW instead, if you wish to shutdown the PBX. But, I don't want to shutdown the PBX. I just want out of the console (CLI prompt) and back to my server command line. Like I said, I could probably just close the term window and that would terminate my ssh session. But, that's not the right way to do things. I know I'm missing something - and it's probably pretty simple. But, I have no idea what it is.
