[Asterisk-Users] Forcing to exec an app into an extension ,even if user hangs up

[Alexandru Coseru]

I thought that this is the best solution..
I've already made some small apps for * , and it is not so hard indeed...

The question was asked as a general thing , not related to playing
prompts....  I could have some voicemail apps there or any other
application...

Thanks a lot
