Asterisk (Digium): how to disable or down span via cli?

Question

How to down span via CLI or API?

I found only the one command:

CLI> pri destroy span 1

but it not suitable for me, because I don’t want to destroy span, but only shutdown specified span. e.g.:

     CLI> pri show spans         
     PRI span 1/0: Up, Active
     PRI span 2/0: Up, Active
     CLI> pri destroy span 1
     PRI span 2/0: Up, Active

The required state is:

     PRI span 1/0: Down, Active

Keep in mind, that the this call is forbidden:

     int fd = open("/dev/dahdi/ctl", O_RDWR);
     ioctl(fd, DAHDI_SHUTDOWN, &span); 

because after that, the call:

     ioctl(fd, DAHDI_STARTUP, &span); 

return unconfigured span.
