[Astlinux-users] PJSIP Best Practice?

[Dan R. <da...@ry...>]

AstLinux Team,
I'm delighted to see the ongoing progress of AstLinux.  Thank you!
Although Asterisk 13SE is still working fine for me, the Pre-Release recommendation (highlighted below) prompted me to start experimenting with Asterisk 16 and pjsip/pjproject on a new droplet PBX, which is now 48 hours old.  It's working well for the most part and I'm making slow and steady progress.  
To force myself to learn pjsip, I defeated the chan_sip module.  Accordingly, the AstLinux Status page now shows "No such command 'sip show registry'" and "No such command 'sip show peers'.  As a possible work around, I updated the Active Channels Command to "pjsip show channels" and repurposed the Show DAHDI Command to "pjsip show endpoints" - since DAHDI isn't being used.  This provides useful data and works fine.  However, the raw CLI output isn't particularly pretty.    
Since I'm surely not the first person to head down this path, I have a feeling that I'm missing something obvious and should ask the pros.  I'm hoping to hear your thoughts and advice for showing pjsip status.  Is there a better recommended practice?
Thanks,
Dan
