Description:	h2. Behavior when running on a root console. {noformat} *CLI> core stop gracefully Waiting for inactivity to perform halt... {noformat} If you attempt to run other commands after running "core stop gracefully" at the root console you get no response. Nor do you get returned to the CLI prompt. {noformat} *CLI> core stop gracefully Waiting for inactivity to perform halt... core show channels {noformat} This makes it pretty clear that no further commands are accepted. Though it would be nice if it said that. h2. Behavior when running on a remote console. {noformat} CentOSLab*CLI> core stop gracefully CentOSLab*CLI> {noformat} Running commands after "core stop gracefully" on a remote console results in a return to the CLI prompt. It appears as if the command is accepted, yet you receive no output in response to the commands. {noformat} CentOSLab*CLI> core show channels CentOSLab*CLI> {noformat} This is confusing behavior and doesn't match what we see on the root console. Ideally the behavior would be the same between the two and the notification after command execution should be explicit about what to expect. e.g. "Stopping gracefully. Waiting for all channels to hang up before halting. No further commands will be accepted." I believe this has been this way for a while but I'm going to mark it as a bug since the behavior is confusing and (based on user reports) results in uncertainty as to the state of the system. h2. Additional note on documentation {noformat} CentOSLab*CLI> core show help core stop gracefully Usage: core stop gracefully       Causes Asterisk to not accept new calls, and exit when all       active calls have terminated normally. {noformat} If we expect that no further commands will be accepted - we should mention that in the documentation. Perhaps: {noformat} CentOSLab*CLI> core show help core stop gracefully Usage: core stop gracefully       Causes Asterisk to not accept new calls, and exit when all       active calls have terminated normally. After this command has been executed       no further commands will be accepted. {noformat}
Comments:	By: Rusty Newton (rnewton) 2015-12-23 21:26:10.414-0600 Linking this to ASTERISK-25597 as it seems to occur only when entering commands after "core stop gracefully" on a remote console.
