asterisk users - Feb 2009 - Hangup extensions via CLI?

Greetings list-

I'd like the ability to hangup all calls for a particular extension from the
system CLI. I understand this can probably be scripted using the AMI but I'm
not familiar on how to do it. Help!

This is a bit of trickery, but could not resist :)

This will kill a channel that is connected to SIP/201

 asterisk -rx "soft hangup $(asterisk -rx 'show channels' | grep
SIP/201 |
awk '{ print $1 '} )"

It basically calls *, gets the list of channels, filters them out to get the
channel name and hangs it up.

OK, using AMI and a real programming language and hadling multiple lines
would be better.

Thanks

 Hi,

 I used this way of processing output from asterisk 1.2 and found out
that it is not 100% safe because there can appear unprintable characters
in the output. This will cause the following grep command to show
message similar to "Binary content: matched" instead of expected line.

 It is necessary to use "strings -a" to filter output. So your example
should be:

 asterisk -rx 'core show channels' | strings -a | grep SIP/7000



 Hope it helps
