[asterisk-users] Manager Originate without phone off hook?

[Moises Silva]

May be I am missing something, but, manager command DBPut should do
the trick of putting the DB value. And, since you are already using
the manager interface, you are using PHP or PERL to connect to the
Database, why not wait for the DBPut command response and from the
script execute wget??
