<div dir="ltr"><div class="gmail_default" style="color:rgb(102,0,0)">How much Asterisk is affected depends on both how often you run a command, and even more significantly, what command you run (and which version of Asterisk).</div>
<div class="gmail_default" style="color:rgb(102,0,0)"><br></div><div class="gmail_default" style="color:rgb(102,0,0)">Commands that display information about every active channel, for example "sip show peers", may slow other processing significantly because they have to briefly lock the data structures to insure valid information. There have been improvements in more recent versions of Asterisk that reduce the negative affects of this by looking at cached information instead of locking everything.</div>
<div class="gmail_default" style="color:rgb(102,0,0)"><br></div><div class="gmail_default" style="color:rgb(102,0,0)">On the other hand, requesting specific information (sip show peer X) or more generic information (sip show inuse) will have much less affect on other activity in Asterisk.</div>
