The code of the Asterisk CLI handling (the remote part) is in various
files in main/ . Mostly asterisk.c itself. When you run 'asterisk -r'
asterisk connects via a unix domain socket (asterisk.ctl). So it is
basically possible to reimplement it with a different program to command
Asterisk. However:

A better documented interface with similar functionality is the Asterisk
Manager Interface, to which you connect throuch a standard TCP socket on
port 5038 (by default). You should be able to issue CLI commands and get
notified of events through it.

In short, the functionality you need is probably already there. Try
asking in the -users list if youi still have problems.
