asterisk: [R]econnect to a running server, and turn on logging 3 levels of [v]erbosity.
$ asterisk -r -vvv
try on your machine

The command "asterisk -r -vvv" is used to start the Asterisk open-source telephony software in the command-line interface with enhanced verbosity.

Here is a breakdown of each component of the command:

  1. "asterisk": This is the command to start the Asterisk software. Since it is executed in the command-line interface, you need to have Asterisk installed and accessible from the command line.

  2. "-r": This option stands for "remote" and allows you to connect to a running Asterisk instance remotely via a command-line interface. It enables you to send commands and interact with Asterisk without being physically present on the machine where Asterisk is running.

  3. "-vvv": This option sets the verbosity level of the Asterisk console output. The more "v" characters you add ("-v", "-vv", "-vvv"), the more detailed and extensive the output will be. In this case, "-vvv" sets the highest verbosity level, providing a very detailed and verbose output. This can be useful for troubleshooting, debugging, or monitoring purposes.

Overall, the "asterisk -r -vvv" command starts Asterisk, enables remote access, and sets the output verbosity level to its highest.
