[Asterisk-Users] call file ignored?

[Remco Barende]

Hi list!

I'm trying to use call files to place outgoing calls.

I want to schedule an outbound call and want it to ring on my sip phone. 
My sip phone is SIP/228 and the call should go out according to the LCR 
rules as defined in the dialplan. I don't mind waiting for the call to be 
answered on my phone so I don't need the functionality that my phone will 
ring only when the call is answered.

This is what I have in the call file:

Channel: SIP/228 	(my sip phone)
MaxRetries: 1
RetryTime: 60
WaitTime: 30
Context: from-internal
Extension: 003120123456
Priority: 1


When I set the permissions and move the file to 
/var/spool/asterisk/outgoing nothing happens. I guess * does find the file 
because it is gone immediately but I don't even get an error on the 
console.

What am I doing wrong?  Can I "snatch" a working call file from the 
outgoing directory?

Thanks!
