Sorry if I am tripping up on the terminology.  I am using pbx_exec
to send a caller (channel) into MeetMe, I then need to have control
return to my application so I can perform additional tasks before the
caller exits the conference.

The application is a database driven scheduler, and I have it handling
conference creation, start time validation, room validation, password
validation and enforces participant limitations.  The last major
function
I need to implement is to enforce a scheduled end to a conference.  To
accomplish that I'll need to be able to send the caller into the MeetMe
room without waiting for a return.

>What channel(s) are supposed to be in the conference?
In my environment it will be all H.323, but I have tested SIP, and the
other channels should also work.  Again, I am be using the wrong terms.
I am successfully using pbx_exec move the caller(channel) into the 
Conference, I just need form my application to immediately proceed after
calling pbx_exec

Thanks,
Dan
