[asterisk-users] ExtenSpy? am I doing it correctly?

[Jim Dickenson]

I had problems when I was playing with the ExtenSpy command as well. The
issue for me was that the context for the extension that I was using was not
the same as the one that Asterisk showed in the console output when I called
the phone. This is because I have various contexts included in other
contexts so it was a bit confusing as to which context the extension was in
at some given point in time.

After changing things to match contexts stuff worked as expected.
