No, I started it with "asterisk" and had it running in the background.
Then, per the PDF manual, I did "asterisk -r" to connect to the server
and get a console. The manual says I can type "quit" to disconnect from
the console, leaving Asterisk running in the background. But, when I do
so, I get this message: 

  The QUIT and EXIT commands may no longer be used to shutdown the PBX.
  Please use STOP NOW instead, if you wish to shutdown the PBX.

That's basically what I did. I started Asterisk with "asterisk" and then
ran "asterisk -r" to get a console. When I type "exit," I get the same
message as I indented above.

I type "help" at the command line (CLI), but didn't see anything in
there (except "quit" and "exit") that would seem to be a way to get out
of the CLI prompt and back to a standard command line.
