.TH ASTMAN 1 "Jun 12th, 2005" "astman" "Linux Programmer's Manual"
.SH NAME
.B astman
-- a client to asterisk's manager interface
.SH SYNOPSIS
.PP 
.B astman
.I hostname

.SH DESCRIPTION
.B astman
This program is a full-screen (terminal) client for Asterisk's manager
interface.

.SH OPTIONS
.B hostname

The host name or IP address to connect to (TCP port 5038). If astman 
fails to connect it will exit immidiately.

.SH USAGE
If \fBastman\fR has successfully cunnected to the manager port it will 
prompt the user for a username and a secret (password) for the manager 
interface on the remote Asterisk manager interface. It will then be able 
to report existing channels (calls). You will then be able to redirect 
calls to or terminate them.

.SH "SEE ALSO" 
asterisk(8)

http://www.voip-info.org/wiki-Asterisk+astman

.SH BUGS
The hostname does not default to localhost.  

Impossible to use a port other than 5038.

The username and password cannot be defined from the command-line.

I mean, what's the point in a man page if the syntax is so simple?
