[Asterisk-Users] AutoAttendent ON/OFF control by Attendent

[AstGrp]

I know this is fairly old thread, but I have a question regarding this.
The following line:

exten => s,2,GotoIf($[${autoattendant} = "1"]?auto|1)

Is basically saying goto context priority 1.  So the last line also has
a goto to statement.  When is this being trigered.  So could you use the
same line but instead say:

exten => s,2,GotoIf($[${autoattendant} = "1"]?4:3)

Just curious

exten => *801,1,DBPut(auto/attendant=1)
exten => *802,1,DBPut(auto/attendant=0)
exten => s,1,DBGet(autoattendant=auto/attendant)
exten => s,2,GotoIf($[${autoattendant} = "1"]?auto|1)
exten => s,3,Dial(Zap/23,30,t)
exten => s,4,Goto(auto|1)
