That man page needs some update. I'll try to do that if nobody beats me
to it. It is maintained upstream, and hence the issue is forwarded.

Asterisk is not intended to be used as a simple phone. Upstream does not
optimize it that way. I guess you can script something around this by
dropping a call file or with a backgroung asterisk -r process.

But it doesn't make sense to set up the whole server, do a single phone
call, and then exit.

(E.g.: yate(8) tries to optimize itself also as a soft-phone. But I
don't think it has such a "single call" mode)
