Is it possible to connect to Asterisk from an external application?
What I mean, to connect and execute its own extensions, created by
some other program:
exten = 1234567,1,txfax(/home/steveu/testfax.tif|caller)
or
exten = $NUMBER_I_WANT,1,txfax($FILE_I_WANT|caller)
and Asterisk will dial this number and execute these extensions.
If it's possible, how do I do it or where can I read more about it?
There are a couple different ways, the easiest and what it sounds like
what you want is to create a call file. A call file is simply a text
file that gets placed (mv dont cp, and mv from the same partition, mv
across partitions is the same as cp effectively) into a spool dir and
asterisk will check that file do what it says and poof.
