[asterisk-users] Auto retry on Busy

[Noah Silverman]

Kevin,

Thanks for the suggestion.  I can't seem to get it to work.

This is what I put in my extensions.conf

We only have one number that we want to keep trying right now, so I  
tried to set it so by calling extension 777, it would start the  
system retrying.  (The actual number isn't 9999999 :)

[trunkretry]
exten => 777,1,Dial(${TRUNK}/www13239999999},10,)
exten => 777,2,gotoif[${DIALSTATUS}="BUSY"]?(LINEBUSY):(OTHER)
exten => 777,3,(LINEBUSY), Wait(15)
exten => 777,4,goto(trunkretry,1,1)


Thanks,

-N
