This is discourged. The Debian package is configured to have an init.d script. There is a separate command, 'rasterisk' (which is exactly the same as 'asterisk -r') to issue commands to it. When you connect via asterisk -r, the prompt is: YOURHOSTNAME*CLI sweetmorn:~# asterisk -r Asterisk 1.6.2.0~rc7-0.7860, Copyright (C) 1999 - 2009 Digium, Inc. and others.

If a Asterisk daemon is running: asterisk -r 'console dial 123455' Also note that 'console dial' is only used to dial the "console" (sound card + microphone). A more general method of automated dialing is the 'originate' or 'channel originate' command that can initiate a call from any phone to anywhere in the PBX. -- Tzafrir Cohen icq#16849755 jabber:tzafrir.co...@xorcom.com +972-50-7952406 mailto:tzafrir.co...@xorcom.com http://www.xorcom.com iax:gu...@local.xorcom.com/tzafrir -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
