asterisk users - Feb 2007 - s-${DIALSTATUS} extensions

In examples, s-${DIALSTATUS} is used to handle unsuccessful dial attempts in 
the s extension.  Goto() is used in examples.  Is the prefix "s-"
mandatory?
Is it related to the original extension "s"? (Apparently
Goto(${DIALSTATUS})
won't work for me.)

Yuan Liu

Make it
Goto(s-${DIALSTATUS})

The problem with the Future is that it keeps turning into the Present.

No. the text 's-' is an arbitrary text in this case.

s- is just something tagged onto the label. An example of what I use:

   exten => s,n,Dial(${ARG1},${timeOut},ron)
   exten => s,n,Noop(Initial dial failed: ${DIALSTATUS})
   exten => s,n,Goto(${DIALSTATUS})

   exten => s,n(ANSWER),Noop(Answered)
   exten => s,n,Hangup()

   exten => s,n(NOANSWER),Noop(Starting NOANSWER processing)

And so on...

the extension 's' in those lines above is the extension inside a macro.

Goto(${DIALSTATUS}) won't work because with only one parameter Goto will 
think it is a priority.  Try Goto(${DIALSTATUS},1)
