asterisk users - Sep 2003 - Can Asterisk automatically initiate a call?

Hi all,

Can Asterisk **initiate** a call?. If yes, what is the command?

I would like that Asterisk automatically calls to me (or to somebody) and 
reproduces a mp3 locution, a menu, etc., is it possible?

Thank you,
Mark

Look at sample.call in the source directory. Edit to suite and copy to
/var/spool/asterisk/outgoing.

Try using Dial...

Mark-

Yes, you can create a shell script that dumps a text file into
/var/spool/asterisk/outgoing.

Use the prototype found in /usr/src/asterisk/sample.call

Name the file "N.call" or something similar, where N is the channel
number.
Create an outgoing context in your extensions.conf file to do what you want.

Good luck!
