[Asterisk-Users] Asterisk CLI Prompt : Small hack

[Matt G]

Just incase anyone is interested, I got tired of not having a newline 
command available
with the cli_prompt. So me and a friend made this uber-quick hack to get 
it working.

Flames/comments/suggestions:

now you can use %n in your prompts to give a newline. A prompt example 
is below.

export ASTERISK_PROMPT="%n[ %d/%t ]%n[ Load1: %l1 Load2: %l2 Load3: %l3 
]%n[ Processes: %l4 PID: %l5 ]%n[ %H ] %%%# "
or
env ASTERISK_PROMPT="%n[ %d/%t ]%n[ Load1: %l1 Load2: %l2 Load3: %l3 
]%n[ Processes: %l4 PID: %l5 ]%n[ %H ] %%%# "
