You can dial this to execute the command as if typed.
Careful, this is a "toolbox" but can reboot, or drop calls if used without care.
Thanks to n3glv for the tips.


This should go into :extensions_custom.conf (dont forget to CLI reload)



exten => *6055,1,System(asterisk -rx \"meetme kick 888 all\")
exten => *6055,n,Playback(vm-goodbye)
exten => *6055,n,Hangup

exten => *6054,1,System(asterisk -rx \"restart now\")
exten => *6054,n,Playback(vm-goodbye)
exten => *6054,n,Hangup

exten => *6053,1,System(asterisk -rx \"restart when convenient\")
exten => *6053,n,Playback(vm-goodbye)
exten => *6053,n,Hangup

exten => *6052,1,System(asterisk -rx \"reload\")
exten => *6052,n,Playback(vm-goodbye)
exten => *6053,n,Hangup

exten => *6051,1,System(asterisk -rx \"iax2 reload\")
exten => *6051,n,Playback(vm-goodbye)
exten => *6051,n,Hangup

exten => *6050,1,System(asterisk -rx \"zap restart\")
exten => *6050,n,Playback(vm-goodbye)
exten => *6050,n,Hangup


; Warning this will reboot the system
exten => *6059,1,System(shutdown now -r)
exten => *6059,n,Playback(vm-goodbye)
exten => *6059,n,Hangup

exten => *6047,1,System(asterisk -rx \"sip reload\")
exten => *6047,n,Playback(vm-goodbye)
exten => *6047,n,Hangup

This is nice TIP but this could be dangerous. Imagine why someone will do that using his/her phone? for restarting Asterisk service will first need the Asterisk running. So if the admin intimated any problem with a particular module and admin runs the restart command, this way what if Asterisk doesn't get back?
And admin can't see what's wrong.

However reload can be sufficient remotely.

I agree, it runs with whatever privs the * user has. (on some systems
that's ROOT)
So, caveat emptor. Use with caution and it would be a good idea to restrict what users can dial it, or otherwise password it eh?

Thanks agidi for the write up so long ago that this is based on.

I have wanted for years to have home devices controlled via the pbx.
With this in mind I had collected an x-10 'firecracker' rs-232 dongle.
And the radio reciever that has a single AC relay switch.

A bit of google reveals there is a package for many os's called "bottle rocket".
A quick download to the pbx of the gz and very simple install and I can now
do the following code, wich should be obvious in function.
The third 'extension' when placed in a ring group as *6049# will make
the unit cycle 5 times while ringing an extension list.

cat extensions_custom.conf
exten => *6047,1,System(/usr/local/bin/br --ON)
exten => *6047,n,Playback(on)
exten => *6047,n,Hangup

exten => *6048,1,System(/usr/local/bin/br --OFF)
exten => *6048,n,Playback(something-terribly-wrong)
exten => *6048,n,Hangup

;The ring group is ringing!
exten => *6049,1,System(/usr/local/bin/br --ON --OFF --repeat=5)
exten => *6049,n,Busy

It was required that I setuid on the br program to 4555 so it can be executed as root.
