[Asterisk-Users] [Issue] Does the *-pbx cmd page honour the absolute timeout value?

[Peter J Dean]

I had an incident, whereby the caller didn't either hang-up their SIP  
phone properly or the disconnect/hang-up information didn't properly  
find their way back to the Asterisk-PBX and it left the company phone  
system in intercom mode with about 90 phones overnight (624mins, CPU  
utilisation was running much higher than normal until i used the  
meetme kick <channel> all command, which restored everything back to  
normal).

Would the Asterisk-PBX command Page() honour it (i had a quick look  
at the app_page.c source, nothing stood out to me)?

i.e.
...
n,Set(TIMEOUT(absolute)=60)
n,Page(SIP/701&SIP/702&SIP/703&SIP/704&SIP/705&SIP/706&SIP/707&SIP/ 
709&SIP/710|q)
...

using;
asterisk-pbx v1.2.7.1
