I believe it may be because you have not told what context the local channel should use. Try using:
Channel: local/155555...@mycontext Obviously change the mycontext to the name of the context that you want to use. That may work for you. -----Original Message----- From: asterisk-users-boun...@lists.digium.com [mailto:asterisk-users-boun...@lists.digium.com] On Behalf Of Mike Diehl Sent: Saturday, 10 October 2009 6:28 AM To: Asterisk Users Mailing List - Non-Commercial Discussion Subject: [asterisk-users] ${REASON} not getting set. Hi all, I've got a program that creates a callfile and most if it working great. However, when a call fails, I'm trying to capture the reason, which I'm told should be in the ${REASON} channel variable. http://www.voip-info.org/wiki/view/Asterisk+auto-dial+out Here is an excerpt from the callfile: Channel: local/155555555 Callerid:Tests <155555555> MaxRetries: 0 RetryTime: 1 WaitTime: 90 Account: Dialout Context: Diaout Extension: dialer Priority: 1 According to the wiki, this should work. Here is my "failed" extension: exten => failed,1,noop(======== Call to ${phone_number} failed ${reason} The call to noop works and this is what I see on the console: -- Executing [fai...@dialout:1] NoOp("OutgoingSpoolFailed", "======== Call to 155555555 failed ") in new stack == Auto fallthrough, channel 'OutgoingSpoolFailed' status is 'UNKNOWN' [Oct 9 14:16:50] NOTICE[29172]: pbx_spool.c:341 attempt_thread: Call failed to go through, reason 0 [Oct 9 14:16:50] WARNING[15708]: pbx_spool.c:245 apply_outgoing: At least one of app or extension must be specified, along with tech and dest in file /var/spool/asterisk/outgoing/t.call Does this just not work? Or am I missing something?
