[Asterisk-Dev] AbsoluteTimeout idea

[Tilghman Lesher]

Had a thought about AbsoluteTimeout (the whentohangup property of
a channel):

Instead of immediately hanging up the channel, what about
creating an extension (e.g. e for expire) to immediately jump
to.  Instead of just hanging up, the user could be informed
(via a Playback or Background app) that the line will be
hung up, first.  Of course, once this extension reaches the
end of the priorities (or if it doesn't exist), a Hangup might
be implicit.

Comments?
