[asterisk-users] AMI vs. Dialplan Originate

[John Kiniston]

You could do the old school method and create and move a .call file from
your dialplan.

exten => writefile,1,NoOP()
 same => n,Set(CALLFILE=/var/spool/asterisk/tmp/${FileName}-${ARG1}.call)
 same => n,Set(FILE(${CALLFILE},,,al,u)=Channel: SIP/bob)
 same => n,Set(FILE(${CALLFILE},,,al,u)=WaitTime: 20)
 same => n,Set(FILE(${CALLFILE},,,al,u)=Context: alice)
 same => n,Set(FILE(${CALLFILE},,,al,u)=Extension: s)
 same => n,Set(FILE(${CALLFILE},,,al,u)=Priority: 1)
 same => n,Set(FILE(${CALLFILE},,,al,u)=SetVar: John=AWESOME
 same => n,Set(FILE(${CALLFILE},,,al,u)=Archive: Yes); we want to keep the
call file for debugging
 same => n,system(mv ${CALLFILE} /var/spool/asterisk/outgoing/); Move the
file into the spool
