asterisk users - Sep 2004 - asterisks queues with static members

Hi List, 

Forgive me if this has already been covered. I did go through past
messages but could not find anything.

I want to setup a queue like scenario where users don't need to
login/logout. 

Basically I want to define a list of extensions that will be rung when a
call comes in. The sequence in which the extension are rung needs to be
intelligent, in the way queues are. 

For example, it could be round-robin, least busy, etc etc. 

I would appreciate if someone can help point me in the right direction. 

Just to clarify, I need more or less what the queue system does, but I
need to specify the extensions statically, and don't want the users to
have to login/logout to be part of the queue.

Thanks

Umar

I have not tried this myself as we need the login/logout functionality.
I believe that you can define your queue in queues.conf like normal
and declare your queue members with the member command

i.e.

member=SIP/1234

There is a little evidence of this working if you take a look at sample
queues.conf usually located in:

/usr/src/asterisk/configs/queues.conf.sample

Just an idea,
