Why would you do that?

If you want to write 5000 commands, write them directly to the socket or
use the manager interface.

I posted one a simple script for writing batch commands to the
asterisk.ctl socket using socat. You have to strip the '\n' in the end
of each command, and write every command in a separate write (I used a
'sleep 0.001' for that).
