[asterisk-users] BACKGROUNDSTATUS not available?

[Danny Nicholas]

AFAIK, BACKGROUNDSTATUS is only meant to be a patch, not a feature.  But if
your sole concern is whether the message was played, this should work:

Exten => s,1,Background(some-file)
Exten => s,n,noop(we heard the whole file)
Exten => 1,1,noop(pressed 1 before done)
Exten => i,1,Noop(pressed another key)

I didn't see it in core show application background.

However, surely it doesn't make much sense.

exten => s,1,Background(some-file)
exten => s,2,NoOp(Listened all the way through)
exten => 1,1,NoOp(Pressed one)
