asterisk users - Dec 2006 - Background switch to different context

I am using the Background() function to ask for the extension, but the
extensions are in a different context. Is there a way to tell Background()
to look for the entered extensions in another context other than the
currently running one?

Thanks.

in that context you can do
include => other-context

hth

If you type "show application background" on the *CLI, you can see all
the options listed there.  The last optional argument is the context
that you want to use to look for extensions.
