[asterisk-users] Why is PQMSTATUS empty?

[Louis Carreiro]

Well that makes sense....

Is there anyway to determine the user's state ([un]paused) in the dial plan
prior to using the [Un]PauseQueueMember() app?

I'd like to be able to keep it very simple for my users by instructing them
to dial one key code to pause or unpause.

v/r,
Me
