I looked at the AGI command list and didn't see any that weren't possible in dialplan where it made sense.

Well, I can't give an answer to that, because I'm neither a developer nor an interface designer for Asterisk. I do think a lot of things could be made more consistent between related ways of doing things (for example, voicemail can be stored in an ODBC database - why not call recordings (without a lot of tedious fiddling about to make it just about work) too?). Maybe someone with better knowledge of the design choices behind such parts of Asterisk can answer, or maybe it's worth putting in a feature request for some sort of AGI dialplan command, to use AGI functions directly.?

Hi Antony, thanks for your answer, even if it is a bit disappointing for me. I understand the point... but... why aren´t then all AGI-Commands also available as Dialplan Functions? I can only find a small amount of functions for the dialplan that could be seen as an equivalent or near-equivalent of an AGI Command... thank you, Yves -- _ -- Bandwidth and Colocation Provided by http://www.api-digital.com -- Astricon is coming up October 9-11!

The whole point of AGI is that it calls an external script in order to replace commands in the dialplan. Executing an AGI command without an external script doesn't make sense.

[asterisk-users] Use AGi Commands without script in Dialplan
Hello, everybody, often it is necessary to issue a single AGI command...

Although there are many dialplan functions that can be used as a substitute for one or the other AGi command, or whose results are the same, but not always... Example: AGI_Command "Set Autohangup"...
