then extensions.conf might look like:

exten => 200,2, Hangup

Hi,

Currently I use "call files" to automate the generation of calls from 
our address book and the resulting call file looks like this..

Channel: SIP/201
WaitTime: 30
Application: Dial
Data: CAPI/4567:5556789
CallerID: Auto Dial <1000>

This method works but it not logging the calls to the CDR and there are 
a few other issues.. So I wanted to try and do the same thing using the 
manager interface in Asterisk.. The problem is that the docs are a 
little shy on details..

Does anyone know how I can turn my call file sample into the manager 
interface equivalent??

My guess is something like..

Action: Originate
Channel: SIP/201
Timeout: 30
??? (application line)
???(data line)
CallerID: Auto Dial <1000>

Thanks..

yes that will work, but remember, app/data do not create a pbx
event.

so as long as you don't have to toss it back into the extensions
handling it should work fine.

and yes, manager->originate->app/data came after the docs <G>
