-----------------------------------------

Linking this to ASTERISK-25597 as it seems to occur only when entering commands after "core stop gracefully" on a remote console.

> {noformat}
> If you attempt to run other commands after running "core stop gracefully" at the root console you get no response. Nor do you get returned to the CLI prompt.
> {noformat}
> *CLI> core stop gracefully
> Waiting for inactivity to perform halt...
> core show channels
> {noformat}
> This makes it pretty clear that no further commands are accepted. Though it would be nice if it said that.

> Running commands after "core stop gracefully" on a remote console results in a return to the CLI prompt. It appears as if the command is accepted, yet you receive no output in response to the commands.
> {noformat}
> CentOSLab*CLI> core show channels
> CentOSLab*CLI>
> {noformat}
> This is confusing behavior and doesn't match what we see on the root console. 
> Ideally the behavior would be the same between the two and the notification after command execution should be explicit about what to expect.
> e.g. "Stopping gracefully. Waiting for all channels to hang up before halting. No further commands will be accepted."
> I believe this has been this way for a while but I'm going to mark it as a bug since the behavior is confusing and (based on user reports) results in uncertainty as to the state of the system.
> h2. Additional note on documentation
> {noformat}
> CentOSLab*CLI> core show help core stop gracefully
> Usage: core stop gracefully
>        Causes Asterisk to not accept new calls, and exit when all
>        active calls have terminated normally.
> {noformat}
> If we expect that no further commands will be accepted - we should mention that in the documentation. Perhaps:
> {noformat}
> CentOSLab*CLI> core show help core stop gracefully
> Usage: core stop gracefully
>        Causes Asterisk to not accept new calls, and exit when all
>        active calls have terminated normally. After this command has been executed
>        no further commands will be accepted.
> {noformat}
