The following commands, which enable an Asterisk Gateway Interface (AGI) script (see Chapter 16, “Asterisk Gateway Interface”) to interact with Asterisk, are taken from the Asterisk internal help and provided here for your convenience. Additional information is provided for commands that merit it. Most of the command names derive from their application (see Appendix B, “Dialplan Applications”) or function (see Appendix C, “Dialplan Functions”) equivalents. Remember that you must enclose empty parameters in double quotation marks (″ ″). The help detail Runs Dead: Yes|No indicates whether the command can be used on a dead (i.e., unanswered or hung-up) channel. For more information, see Appendix B.
