As it says in the book, call files allow calls to be created through the Linux shell. If you've used this to create a roaming callback service, then you must have created something that allows users to submit a phone number to be called back on, after which a .call file is created and moved to the /var/spool/asterisk/outgoing/ directory. > sleep 8s > mv "$1" "$2" > exit 0 This looks like the step that moves the newly created call file to the aforementioned directory. > In my case, when the caller calls in to 'asterisk', he is prompted > for the number he wishes to call.

Would you be willing to share how you did this?
