asterisk users - Sep 2008 - getting results messages from CLI commands via -rx

Hi,

I am issuing CLI commands via script, using the "asterisk -rx" method.

Its working great.  Now, I need to get the results of the command to look
for error messages, etc.

I've tried setting several "-v" flags as well, but I only get the
Asterisk
startup text (version, license info, etc), not the results of the command
itself.

Is this even possible?

Thanx!

If you're doing activities via a script, the recommended method is to do
this
via the Asterisk Manager Interface.  There is a sample script within the
contrib/scripts directory called astcli, which shows how to do this in Perl.
Note that the script is only available in trunk, though it should work with
other versions of Asterisk.

Don't use v-s. They are global. It seems you didn't have the
'-x'.
