asterisk users - Nov 2006 - Clearing Outgoing Call Queue

I have an app that generates callfiles in the outgoing queue, which
connect a channel to an AGI (Perl script) at an extension. The AGI calls
the Dial command over a SIP channel. Sometimes I need to stop the
outgoing calls after the requests have been made. I delete the callfiles
from the outgoing directory, but there are still some calls "in the
pipeline". Especially if Dials failed at first, and are now retrying.

	How can I give a command to Asterisk to stop all outgoing calls at
once? Is there a way to specify subgroups of calls, by some kind of tag,
or the phone# they're calling? Right now all I can do is kill the
Asterisk server process, which is too much.

Have you tried a simple reload?

Thanks,
