[Asterisk-Users] ACD calls to busy agents

[Corey Frang]

So, I'm looking into using PauseQueueMember and unpause queuemember

How the heck to you get Unpause to run, no matter what, after the call 
is over?

The "g" argument to Dial only works when the >called< party hangs up.

Using the "h" extension appears to be doing nothing...

Is there any way we could add a feature to the "pausequeuemember" that 
basically says "As long as this channel is open, this member is paused" 
so  that way when they hang up they are unpaused automatically?
