[Asterisk-Dev] Immediate return from pbx_exec?

[Dan Austin]

OK, so I did understand the code.  I suppose that is good.

Now, you mention the manager interface, does that mean I can
do this: 
	1.  Enter my app from the dial plan, attached to the channel
	2.  Perform the validation steps
	3.  Issue a manager command to redirect the channel into the
		MeetMe

Reading my own question, I see that the anwser is no.  Unless I 
rewrite the application as an external app, and use an agi to pass
it the channel for streaming purposes and monitoring. 

Does that sum it up pretty accurately?

Thanks,
Dan

Unfortunately you can't do that :-) If you transfer the channel that you

are running on into a conference, you cannot easily continue executing, 
because the channel is now running in app_meetme.

The best way to handle this will be via the Manager interface or AGI, 
where you can redirect an existing channel into the conference and then 
do more operations on it.
