[asterisk-users] From the CLI, how can I hangup a channel name that includes a space character?

[Dan Cropp]

Thanks Doug.

Turns out if using hangup request does not work with the escaped character
CLI> hangup request PJSIP/1003\ a-00000007
Usage: channel request hangup <channel>|<all>
       Request that a channel be hung up. The hangup takes effect
       the next time the driver reads or writes from the channel.
       If 'all' is specified instead of a channel name, all channels
       will see the hangup request.

However, channel request hangup ... does support the escaped character.
CLI> channel request hangup PJSIP/1003\ a-00000007
Requested Hangup on channel 'PJSIP/1003 a-00000007'

Thank you for the help.

Dan

I think you can typically use tab completion when working with spaces or you can escape the space with a back slash

For example Doug Lytle would be
