Because it was bugging me..., new features include: (Version 1.0.05)

I have been testing trunk, and noticed with the latest asterisk  
(Asterisk 1.4.21.2), commands are 'slower' when accessed via the shell  
as
asterisk -rx ...

Sure enough, about 0.3 seconds of delay occurs between the command  
output and the returning prompt.  This really adds up with multiple  
calls to asterisk in altweb, and was bugged me.  Asterisk 1.4.18 does  
not exhibit this behavior.

The solution is for altweb to also support the manager interface (in  
1.0.05) as a method to issue commands to asterisk.  Using the manager  
interface solves the 0.3 second delay problem in the latest asterisk.   
Possibly the 'proper' way to do it anyway.  The previous "asterisk - 
rx ..." is the default.

But using the asterisk manager interface (AMI) requires the  
manager.conf file to be properly configured.

---- manager.conf snippet ----
[general]
enabled = yes
;webenabled = yes
port = 5038
bindaddr = 127.0.0.1

; Web interface localhost user for AstLinux
;
[webinterface]
secret = webinterface
deny=0.0.0.0/0.0.0.0
permit=127.0.0.1/255.255.255.255
read = command
write = command
---- manager.conf snippet ----

For changes to the manager.conf to be applied, reboot/restart the  
system.

1) A new Prefs tab option, under "Status Tab Options:"

___ Use Asterisk Manager Interface for Asterisk Commands

When checked, the AMI is used to issue commands to asterisk, using  
user/password 'webinterface'.  Note that only connections from  
localhost to localhost are allowed.

When unchecked, the system shell issues "asterisk -rx ..." calls to  
issue commands to asterisk.
