SPAM-LOW: Re: [asterisk-users] .Call files do not seem to wo rk

[Colin Anderson]

If you are using Windows to generate the .call files, make sure they are in
Unix format (LF only at EOL, not CR+LF) - Notepad makes bad Unix files. Use
Crimson Editor www.crimsoneditor.com to make the file, and click Document >
File Format > Unix Format. 

I ran into this same problem, and it turns out my Asterisk install would not
use Windows-formatted text files, it would just ignore them and delete them.

Hi,

As I mentioned above, the action of dropping a .call into the /outgoing 
directory did not produce any CLI output.  I did this through 2 putty 
sessions.  The first, we setup to watch the CLI output and the second 
was to use the commandline to move the .call into the /outgoing directory.

Asterisk must be doing *something* with the file (if just deleting it) 
because if I check the /outgoing directory after I move the file, there 
is no file there.  It's deleted.
