app_rpt functions can't be added in extensions.conf!


Set up an autopatch to access a specific context in extensions.conf
using context=yourcontext and farenddisconnect=1 on the function entry
in the function stanza.  Once your context executes in extensions.conf
you can execute programs using Asterisk extension logic.
(You'll need to do some reading in the asterisk book or on voip-info.org
if you don't know what extension logic is) You can use one or two digit
extension numbers within the context in extensions.confto allow several
different things to be done in extensions.conf.

Function table in rpt.conf:

*97,autopatchup,context=mycontext,farenddisconnect=1

Context in extensions.conf:

[mycontext]
exten => 1,1,Answer
exten => 1,n,Wait 1
... Do something like set global variable.
exten => 1,n,Hangup
exten => 2,1,Answer
exten => 2,n,Wait 1
... Do something like reset a global variable.
exten => 2,n,Hangup



So you would dial *971 or *972 to access the individual functions.
