Description:Callback application, generates a call file to call you back

Callback([context,]exten,priority,dialout-context)

context,exten and priority are where the other side of the call goes (not the caller)

dialout context is what context to use in the call back of the initial caller...

Why did you hardcoded MaxRetries, RetryTime and WaitTime. Also, what about accountcode?

Bug Marshals please remove:

callback.tar.gz (2,248 bytes) 09-28-04 10:17

as it's the old version, now replaced.

New version takes optional parameters for RetryTime, Retries and WaitTime
AccountCode is taken from the current channel.

ScaredyCat: Maybe we should add the function that creates and activates the callfile to utils.c so we can call it from other apps and channels? I can think of integrating this into voicemail, to add an option saying "Call my cellphone if someone (or some call IDs) leave a message..."

What do you think? It's a clever little function.

Any update?  Where is this going?  also, ScaredyCat, what do you think of oej's idea?

Ok with me... just no time atm

Feel free to re-open this bug when you have more time to update your patch.

Thank you!

Anyone care to take the time to integrate oej's suggestion?  ScaredyCat, has the time been acquired?  

Markster? Should we look at this, or no?  I like it, since it makes it simple to drop callfiles from the dialplan, even though this can be accomplished with a simple shell script, ie:

exten 1234,1,System("/usr/local/bin/callme ${CALLERID} arg2 arg3 ...)

/usr/local/bin/callme:

#!/bin/sh
echo "<callfilestuffincludingthenumbertocall>" >> /tmp/callfile$1
mv /tmp/callfile$1 /var/spool/asterisk/outgoing
exit 1
