[asterisk-users] Goto in Realtime extensions

[Mike Clark]

We are building a Ruby on Rails interface that we will probably put out 
as open source later this spring. I worked around this problem with 
#exec statements. This is what is in my extensions.conf file:

#exec /path/to/scripts/load_extensions.rb


This runs a Ruby script that rips through my extensions table and builds 
a context with the appropriate switch statement for each realtime 
context. The output is included much like the text from an include 
file.  Of course, it still requires a reload if you add a brand new context.

regards,

Mike Clark
