Another really stupid one...<br>
<br>
I want to have an alarm process make a group of phones ring.<br>
There doesn&#39;t need to be a real connection, as nobody will<br>
pick up the connection, but as an alternative it could play<br>
a standard recording if answered.<br>
<br>
I have the group defined as a group in the directory but<br>
also as a context and number leading to a group call in<br>
the dialplan.<br>
<br>
So what I need is a command to fs_cli that makes a call to<br>
the group or dialplan extension. Haven&#39;t managed to figure<br>
out how to do it...<br>
