FollowMe() — Find me/follow me functionality

Synopsis

FollowMe(followmeid[,options])

This application attempts to locate the callee by dialing many different destinations either serially or in parallel, as defined in followme.conf.

The followmeid identifies the section of followme.conf that specifies how this callee should be found. The options parameter can be zero or more of the following:

s

Playback the incoming status message prior to starting the follow-me step(s)

a

Record the caller’s name so it can be announced to the callee on each step

n

Playback the unreachable status message if we’ve run out of steps to reach the callee or the callee has elected not to be reachable
