[Asterisk-Users] call files run at certain times

[Anton Krall]

BTW, can you use the same call file to make 2 calls in order or just 1 call
per call file?

What I want to do is first make a call to a sip phone and playback some file
and then make another call to the same sip phone but this time connect the
call to a zap line.

This has to be in order since the first call is kind of an announce and the
second is the actual connect.

Can this be done on the same call file or what do you guys suggest?

Without looking at code, I don't know for certain.

If you modify the creation time and then 'mv' it into the outgoing dir,
asterisk will see it and ignore it till the creation time is older than
current time.

You will find a lot of suggestions to not create files in the outgoing
directory due to race conditions on your creation time and when you are done
writing the file.
