The command "asterisk -r -x" is used to interact with the Asterisk telephony server.
- The "-r" flag allows the command to be executed in remote mode, enabling the user to connect to the Asterisk server from a remote terminal.
- The "-x" flag indicates that a command will be executed immediately after the Asterisk server connection has been established.
The command itself is "hangup request ${channel_ID}". Here's its breakdown:
- "hangup request" is the command being executed.
- "${channel_ID}" is a placeholder or variable that represents the specific channel ID or session that you want to hang up.
In summary, when you execute the command "asterisk -r -x 'hangup request ${channel_ID}'", you establish a remote connection to the Asterisk telephony server, and then immediately send a hangup request to the specific channel ID provided.
