\subsubsection{Changing the CLI Prompt}

The CLI prompt is set with the ASTERISK\_PROMPT UNIX environment variable that
you set from the Unix shell before starting Asterisk

You may include the following variables, that will be replaced by
the current value by Asterisk:

\begin{verbatim}
%d	Date (year-month-date)
%s	Asterisk system name (from asterisk.conf)
%h	Full hostname
%H	Short hostname
%t	Time
%%	Percent sign
%#	'#' if Asterisk is run in console mode, '>' if running as remote console
%Cn[;n]	Change terminal foreground (and optional background) color to specified
\end{verbatim}

A full list of colors may be found in include/asterisk/term.h

On Linux systems, you may also use:

\begin{verbatim}
%l1     Load average over past minute
%l2     Load average over past 5 minutes
%l3     Load average over past 15 minutes
%l4     Process fraction (processes running / total processes)
%l5     The most recently allocated pid
\end{verbatim}
