[asterisk-users] Hiding extensions from app_directory

[Jesse Scott]

Doesn't look like FreePBX is nuking it. I just SSH'd in and opened  
the voicemail.conf directly and the entry is still in there:

305 => 1234,Users Name,useremail at mcmds.com,,attach=yes|saycid=yes| 
envelope=yes|delete=no|hidefromdir=yes

I tried issuing both a 'reload' and a 'restart gracefully' to the  
Asterisk CLI. Is there something else I would have to do to make it  
take effect?

Maybe I'll try disappearing the entry entirely (temporarily of  
course) and see if it goes away from the directory then. Is there  
somewhere else app_directory could be pulling entries? (I don't have  
the MySQL business enabled.)


Thanks,

-Jesse
