RE: [Asterisk-Users] Execute dialplan command at startup
<< I tried it, and it works, but it is hardly an ideal solution>> I've setup the following file: Channel: SIP/1003 Context: from-sip-internal Extension: 338 Priority: 1 And it does almost exactly what I want so Oliver/Niksa, thanks for the idea. However the call file mechanism seems to insist upon a channel which implies a phone has to ring before the extension (containing the dialplan actions I want to execute) is called. Is it right that the channel must be included in the call file? If so, is there a "dummy" channel available that will always answer. I've had no joy getting the "application" option to work but it, too, seems to require a channel parameter to be present in the file.

[..] In the meantime I'm hoping that it is possible to use the built-in database and be able to run some kind of "autostart" context. Does such a facility exist? Without getting into details, I would create a call file in the outgoing spool directory of asterisk within the asterisk startup script which calls a specific application. Haven't tried, but should easily work. Let me know, how it works. rgds pos ___ Asterisk-Users mailing list Asterisk-Users@lists.digium.com http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users To UNSUBSCRIBE or update options visit: http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users
[Asterisk-Users] Execute dialplan command at startup
How can Asterisk be configured to execute some number of dialplan commands when it is started or restarted? I want to be able to populate the registry (using DBPut() commands) to store some information each time Asterisk starts. Such information could, of course, be stored in a database and perhaps that will be the long term objective. In the meantime I'm hoping that it is possible to use the built-in database and be able to run some kind of "autostart" context. Does such a facility exist?
