[asterisk-users] Adding DND to dialplan

[Brian McEntire]

Hmmm...

Had hoped this would be easy, maybe still is, but running into a problem:

When I dial #78, I get a fast busy and these errors on the CLI

[Apr  4 00:39:29] ERROR[4046]: pbx.c:1523 ast_func_read: Function
DND/CALLERID not registered
[Apr  4 00:39:29] WARNING[4046]: func_db.c:87 function_db_write: DB
requires an argument, DB(<family>/<key>)=<value>

- - -

Here is the extensions.conf entry:

[dnd-on]
exten => _#78,1,Answer()
exten => _#78,n,Wait(1)
exten => _#78,n,Set(DB(${DND/CALLERID(num)})=1)
exten => _#78,n,Playback(do-not-disturb)
exten => _#78,n,Playback(enabled)
exten => _#78,n,Hangup()

- - -

It appears to me that Set(DB ... as a function isn't working, isn't
built in, or needs more information.

I saw something about GLOBAL variables, perhaps I can use those instead?
