I think you are only the second or third person to really even mention 
realtime in the context of ConfBridge in the places I see.

Why are you wanting to use CLI commands instead of AMI? The available 
AMI actions for ConfBridge can do listing/locking/muting/kicking etc as 
you want.

As for dialplan applications to do the various things - what are you 
trying to achieve using them?
