[Asterisk-Users] ast_sock_cmd: pipe commands to asterisk

[Tzafrir Cohen]

If you need to pipe commands to Asterisk without resorting to the
manager interface (e.g: requiring a specific user, hard-wiring password
or other authentication messure. After all: you're root of the machine
and know better than that lousy Asterisk process), you may want to use
the following.

It is a simple C program to pipe commands to asterisk.ctl . It was
written to help me and thus hardwires the path I use
(/var/run/asterisk/asterisk.ctl ) , but I'd welcome any fixes for that.

Usage:

build with:

  make ast_sock_cmd

example usage:

  echo -e "set verbose 3\nset debug 5" | ./ast_sock_cmd
  
  echo -e "restart now" | ./ast_sock_cmd

I'd also be happy to know of existing alternatives. It looked strange I
could not find such an existing tool to pipe text into a unix-domain
socket.
