Hi People! Is there an underground asterisk command reference manual that the Gurus here share amongst themselves only? :-) The reason I ask is that sometimes I see mention of an asterisk command and I scramble for my asterisk book (pdf) to look it up but can't find it in there. For example, I saw here last week people talking about the Set() application with the "If" conditional attached to it. How do we (us rookies) join this underground? Thank you.

How do we (us rookies) join this underground?No, we're all pretty open about what's in Asterisk. There are two places I'd suggest you look. The first is at the Asterisk command-line interface itself. Type "core show functions" and "core show applications" for a list of built-in functions and applications, respectively. You can also type something like "core show function IF" (note that functions *must* be upper-case) or "core show application Set" for more detailed information on a particular function or application. The second place I'd suggest you look is at the new and improved second edition of Asterisk: The Future of Telephony. (Yes, I'm one of the authors.) You can download it for free from http://openbooks.oreilly.com/ or buy a copy in dead-tree format from your favorite bookseller. The book has a reference for all of the dialplan functions and applications for Asterisk 1.4. -- Jared Smith Community Relations Manager Digium, Inc.

From the command line do sudo /usr/sbin/asterisk -r then at that command line type show application $application Where $application is the application you are interested in knowing info about.
