[Asterisk-Users] A General question

[AR Tarzi]

Could someone find the time to tell me whether ALL functions in Asterisk are programmed using scripts and contexts ?
What I need to find out is whether the user CAN configure services for themselves.. Below, I chose a sampling of a fresh question and answer (just as an example).
In this example: Is it not possible for each user to configure (say) the voicemail so that whenever there's a message (data which probably affects the dialtone or a light on the recipient phone), an action is taken.. A daemon could then check a database to find out the action (dialout, sms message.. or whatever) and the target number.
I cannot imagine the size of user installations (observed in user messages) being managed centrally..

I hope this is not too much to ask, but all I need is a cryptic yes or no at this stage.

  What about putting this in a special context and using 'h'?

  i.e.

  exten => 100, 1, Dial(SIP/100, 15)
  exten => 100, 2, Voicemail(u100)
  exten => h,1,Dial(Zap/g1/CELL_PHONE)

  ?  h will get executed on hangup.  The only caveat is that if no voicemail 
  was left, you will still get called.  Is there some way to check if there 
  are new messages and use that in h along with the Dial()?

  Regards,
  Andrew
