Description:	After a dialplan reload hints for parked calls are allways in use however if asterisk is restarted, the hints are displayed as "idle" ****** ADDITIONAL INFORMATION ****** mnain drawback of this issue is that reloading is virtual impossible if people use this functionality a lot
Comments:	By: Joshua C. Colp (jcolp) 2007-12-03 08:18:57.000-0600 Please provide more information about the scenario: whether calls are parked during the reload or not, complete console output with a show hints, anything. I just tried to reproduce this a few different ways and it worked perfectly.

Colp (jcolp) 2007-12-03 08:41:06.000-0600 The parking device state stuff currently works by seeing if an extension exists at the given extension and context. When Asterisk loads res_features creates a context called parkedcalls and pbx_config creates a context called parkedcalls but the one from res_features gets priority, and since nothing is parked... none of the extensions exist and it comes up as idle. When you reload though the one in pbx_config gets priority and since you defined the extensions it considers them inuse. I would suggest using a different context in features.conf for res_features and pointing your hints to use that context instead. It should work as you want. By: Fons van der Beek (fvdb) 2007-12-03 08:57:58.000-0600 Tnx that did the trick, sorry for bothering you and posting it as a bug. I looked for an answer since a week, i guess this "feature" isn't as good documented as it should be....... tnx again, i consider this issue as closed. By: Joshua C. Colp (jcolp) 2007-12-03 09:05:25.000-0600 Closed as it's a configuration issue. Thanks and have a great day!
