[asterisk-users] ChanIsAvail() in 1.2.12.1

[Douglas Garstang]

That's not how it appears to have worked before. Previously, I was able to call it and then simply check the value of the ${AVAILCHAN} variable at n+1. The docs imply that jumping to n+101 only occurs if j is supplied, and I'm not passing a 'j'.

*CLI> show application chanisavail

  -= Info about application 'ChanIsAvail' =- 

[Synopsis]
Check channel availability

[Description]
  ChanIsAvail(Technology/resource[&Technology2/resource2...][|options]): 
This application will check to see if any of the specified channels are
available. The following variables will be set by this application:
  ${AVAILCHAN}     - the name of the available channel, if one exists
  ${AVAILORIGCHAN} - the canonical channel name that was used to create the channel
  ${AVAILSTATUS}   - the status code for the available channel
  Options:
    s - Consider the channel unavailable if the channel is in use at all
    j - Support jumping to priority n+101 if no channel is available
