asterisk users - Jan 2005 - Execute dialplan command at startup

How can Asterisk be configured to execute some number of dialplan commands
when it is started or restarted?

I want to be able to populate the registry (using DBPut() commands) to store
some information each time Asterisk starts.  Such information could, of
course, be stored in a database and perhaps that will be the long term
objective.  

In the meantime I'm hoping that it is possible to use the built-in database
and be able to run some kind of "autostart" context.  Does such a
facility
exist?

Without getting into details, I would create a call file in the outgoing 
spool directory of asterisk within the asterisk startup script which 
calls a specific application.

Haven't tried, but should easily work.

Let me know, how it works.
