2009-10-15 Thread Eric Fort
I need for asterisk to call me at a predetermined number once a day at a
predetermined time and once connected to me make 5-10 simultanious calls to
a DID filling all available channels.  What is the best way to do this?

What's best for you may not be best for me.

How will you know how many calls to make?

Probably the easiest (requiring the least knowledge and labor) would be to 
use cron to schedule a script that would create a call file in /tmp/ and 
then move it to Asterisk's outgoing directory.

Your call file would call you and then jump into your dialplan where you 
would use system() to create the remaining call files and then dump you 
into a meetme conference.

The remaining call files would call the DID and then jump into your 
dialplan where you would dump the calls into your meetme.

If you have the skills, AMI (scheduled by cron) would probably be best.
