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?
