Asterisk Startup Commands
Since Asterisk 1.6.0 there is a config file cli.conf
where you can add CLI commands, which will be executed, when Asterisk starts.
With the originate
you can also trigger a “call” at startup. A call to a local dummy extension can trigger a context, where you can e.g. initialize custom lamp states from a database or something else.
