[Asterisk-Users] Execute dialplan command at startup

[Niksa Baldun]

I tried it, and it works, but it is hardly an ideal solution. If you,
for example, forget yourself and execute 'restart now' from * console,
.call file won't be generated and you may spend hours wondering what
went wrong.

I believe the lack of some kind of 'autostart' context is a major flaw
in design, but then again, I guess it could easily be implemented.
