On a sorta related note - would it be possible to add 'shell' to the 
CLI, so it would be possible to spawn a new shell on exit?

This way if someone was in asterisk, and wanted to access a shell (and 
not another vtty) they could type 'shell' or something similar, and be 
presented with a shell, then type 'exit' in the shell to be returned to 
the asterisk CLI.

Sort of like what Lftp does, by lettng you shell out to the system while 
within the ftp program.

I'm not a coder and it's just an idea, but I thought I should run it by.
