\fBasterisk\fR is a full-featured telephony server which
provides Private Branch eXchange (PBX), Interactive Voice Response (IVR),
Automated Call Distribution (ACD), Voice over IP (VoIP) gatewaying,
Conferencing, and a plethora of other telephony applications to a broad
range of telephony devices including packet voice (SIP, IAX2, MGCP, Skinny,
-H.323) devices (both endpoints and proxies), as well as traditional TDM
+H.323, Unistim) devices (both endpoints and proxies), as well as traditional TDM
hardware including T1, E1, ISDN PRI, GR-303, RBS, Loopstart, Groundstart,
-ISDN BRI, and many more.
+ISDN BRI and many more.
.PP
At start, Asterisk reads the /etc/asterisk/asterisk.conf main configuration
file and locates the rest of the configuration files from the configuration
in that file. The -C option specifies an alternate main configuration file.
Virtually all aspects of the operation of asterisk's configuration files
-can be found in the sample configuration files. The format for those files
+can be found in the sample configuration files. The format for those files
is generally beyond the scope of this man page.

-.SH "OPTIONS"

-\fB-C \fIfile\fB\fR
-Use \fIfile\fR as master configuration file
+.SH OPTIONS
+.TP
+-B
+Force the background of the terminal to be black, in order for
+terminal colors to show up properly.
+.TP
+-C \fIfile\fR
+Use \*(T<\fIfile\fR\*(T> as master configuration file
instead of the default, /etc/asterisk/asterisk.conf
-.TP
-\fB-c\fR
+.TP
+-c
Provide a control console on the calling terminal.
Specifying this option implies \fB-f\fR and will cause
asterisk to no longer fork or detach from the controlling terminal.
-.TP
-\fB-d\fR
+.TP
+-d
Enable extra debugging statements.
Note: This always sets the debug level in the asterisk process,
-even if it is running in the background. This will affect the size
-of your log files.
-.TP
-\fB-f\fR
-Do not fork or detach from controlling terminal.
-.TP
-\fB-g\fR
+even if it is running in the background. This may affect the size
+of your log files, if the debug level is specified in logger.conf.
+.TP
+-e \fImemory\fR
+Limit the generation of new channels when the amount of free memory has decreased to under \fImemory\fR megabytes.
+.TP
+-f
+Do not fork or detach from controlling terminal. Overrides any preceding specification of \fB-F\fR on the command line.
+.TP
+-F
+Always fork and detach from controlling terminal. Overrides any preceding specification of \fB-f\fR on the command line.
+.TP
+-g
Remove resource limit on core size, thus forcing Asterisk to dump
core in the unlikely event of a segmentation fault or abort signal.
\fBNOTE:\fR in some cases this may be incompatible
with the \fB-U\fR or \fB-G\fR flags.
-.TP
-\fB-G \fIgroup\fB\fR
+.TP
+-G \fIgroup\fR
Run as group \fIgroup\fR instead of the
-calling group. \fBNOTE:\fR this requires substantial work
+calling group. \fBNOTE:\fR this requires substantial work
to be sure that Asterisk's environment has permission to write
the files required for its operation, including logs, its comm
socket, the asterisk database, etc.
-.TP
-\fB-h\fR
+.TP
+-h
Provide brief summary of command line arguments and terminate.
-.TP
-\fB-i\fR
-Prompt user to initialize any encrypted private keys for IAX2
+.TP
+-i
+Prompt user to intialize any encrypted private keys for IAX2
secure authentication during startup.
-.TP
-\fB-L \fIloadaverage\fB\fR
-Limits the maximum load average before rejecting new calls. This can
+.TP
+-I
+Enable internal timing if DAHDI timing is available.
+The default behaviour is that outbound packets are phase locked
+to inbound packets. Enabling this switch causes them to be
+locked to the internal DAHDI timer instead.
+.TP
+-L \fIloadaverage\fR
+Limits the maximum load average before rejecting new calls. This can
be useful to prevent a system from being brought down by terminating
too many simultaneous calls.
-.TP
-\fB-m\fR
-Disable log and verbose output to remote (-r) consoles.
-.TP
-\fB-M \fIvalue\fB\fR
-Limits the maximum number of calls to the specified value. This can
+.TP
+-m
+Temporarily mutes output to the console and logs. To return to normal,
+use \fBlogger mute\fR.
+.TP
+-M \fIvalue\fR
+Limits the maximum number of calls to the specified value. This can
be useful to prevent a system from being brought down by terminating
too many simultaneous calls.
-.TP
-\fB-n\fR
+.TP
+-n
Disable ANSI colors even on terminals capable of displaying them.
-.TP
-\fB-p\fR
+.TP
+-p
If supported by the operating system (and executing as root),
attempt to run with realtime priority for increased performance and
responsiveness within the Asterisk process, at the expense of other
programs running on the same machine.
-.TP
-\fB-q\fR
+
+Note: \fBastcanary\fR will run concurrently with
+\fBasterisk\fR. If \fBastcanary\fR stops
+running or is killed, \fBasterisk\fR will slow down to
+normal process priority, to avoid locking up the machine.
+.TP
+-q
Reduce default console output when running in conjunction with
console mode (\fB-c\fR).
-.TP
-\fB-r\fR
+.TP
+-r
Instead of running a new Asterisk process, attempt to connect
to a running Asterisk process and provide a console interface
for controlling it.
-.TP
-\fB-R\fR
-Much like \fB-r\fR\&. Instead of running a new Asterisk process, attempt to connect
+.TP
+-R
+Much like \fB-r\fR. Instead of running a new Asterisk process, attempt to connect
to a running Asterisk process and provide a console interface
for controlling it. Additionally, if connection to the Asterisk
process is lost, attempt to reconnect for as long as 30 seconds.
-.TP
-\fB-s \fIsocket\fB\fR
-Allows to specify the socket file to be used to connect to the
-Asterisk console. Used in conjunction with \fB-r\fR or \fB-R\fR.
-.TP
-\fB-I\fR
-Enable internal timing if DAHDI timer is available
-The default behaviour is that outbound packets are phase locked
-to inbound packets. Enabling this switch causes them to be
-locked to the internal DAHDI timer instead.
-.TP
-\fB-t\fR
+.TP
+-s \fIsocket file name\fR
+In combination with \fB-r\fR, connect directly to a specified
+Asterisk server socket.
+.TP
+-t
When recording files, write them first into a temporary holding directory,
then move them into the final location when done.
-.TP
-\fB-T\fR
+.TP
+-T
Add timestamp to all non-command related output going to the console
when running with verbose and/or logging to the console.
-.TP
-\fB-U \fIuser\fB\fR
+.TP
+-U \fIuser\fR
Run as user \fIuser\fR instead of the

to be sure that Asterisk's environment has permission to write

+-v
+Increase the level of verboseness on the console. The more times
\fB-v\fR is specified, the more verbose the output is.

-rather than a dark background, as is the default.

-\fB-x \fIcommand\fB\fR

+-W
+Display colored terminal text as if the background were white

Connect to a running Asterisk process and execute a command on
a command line, passing any output through to standard out and
