It works just fine for me, the only time it doesn't work is when I don't
put some quotes around the command.

asterisk at homebox:~/cvs/asterisk# asterisk -rx 'show channels'
        Channel  (Context    Extension    Pri )   State Appl.         Data           
0 active channel(s)

asterisk at homebox:~/cvs/asterisk# asterisk -rx "show channels"
        Channel  (Context    Extension    Pri )   State Appl.         Data           
0 active channel(s)

asterisk at homebox:~/cvs/asterisk# asterisk -rx show channels
No such command 'show' (type 'help' for help)
