[asterisk-app-dev] Asterisk ARI

[Glen Millard]

Excellent! Now we are getting somewhere.

I think sometimes I have a tough time getting my point across (aka Boyd
Crowder)

On that note, does anyone have any examples/samples of using the
AMI/API/ARI to do such tasks?

Using the AMI to write to the config files - I think that is what I need.

Would you be able to cite some examples of how to do that? Then, I'll be
able to see what I am up against.
