The command "asterisk -r -x "voicemail show users"" is used for interacting with Asterisk, an open-source PBX (Private Branch Exchange) system. Here is a breakdown of what each part of the command does:
- "asterisk" is the command to start the Asterisk CLI (Command Line Interface), which allows you to interact with the Asterisk system from the terminal.
- "-r" is a flag that stands for "remote," which means it connects to the running instance of Asterisk CLI remotely.
- "-x" is another flag that stands for "execute," which allows you to run a specific command within the Asterisk CLI directly from the command line.
- "voicemail show users" is the actual command that you want to execute within the Asterisk CLI. It displays a list of all configured voicemail users on the Asterisk system.
So, when you run the command "asterisk -r -x "voicemail show users"", it will connect to the running Asterisk CLI remotely and execute the "voicemail show users" command, which will provide you with a list of all the configured voicemail users in the system.
