Hi,

Actually I wrote that thing a long time ago as a quick hack to work 
from 'mon'. Mon expects an exit code in the program to state wether or not 
there was a problem and if there was a problem just output the problematic 
hosts on stdout. It cannot tell you precisely what is wrong, because the only 
thing it tries is to login to the manager interface and disconnect again. It 
assumes that if the manager login works, asterisk is at least not crashed or 
frozen :-)

At the time of writing it served my purpose, but it had some problems with 
asterisk becoming unresponsive after a large number of manager logins/logouts. 
I suppose this has been solved by now, but I stopped testing it heavily since 
I had not had a large amount of requests for it...
