Bilal,
anything can be a unix variable, it doesn't matter what it's called.
#!/bin/bash
export THREE=3
export FIVE=5
((EIGHT=$THREE+$FIVE))
echo $EIGHT
THREE, FIVE, and EIGHT are all just variables, like in programming. It
just so happens that if you create one called ASTERISK_PROMPT, asterisk
will use it.
You would probably put this in your startup script, for example
/etc/rc.d/rc.local
or
/etc/rc.local
down near the bottom you could put
export ASTERISK_PROMPT="new prompt "
and when you run asterisk, it will use this new prompt in the CLI.
