I gathered from your response that it would be possible to execute the dial from inside the agi but this is probably not the way to go. Aside from coding in c, or running a script with cron, what other alternatives are there? Someone must have done something on this regard (calculating call costs)

Can this be configured in extensions.conf? It seems the entries
It cannot. If the Dial app succeeds in getting a connected channel, it will ALWAYS return -1, which signals a hangup to Asterisk. The only time Dial will ever return control to the dialplan is if either the channel is not available or if the channel does not get connected.
right after a Dial app get executed only if the Dial app was
executed unsucessfully. Would I have to execute the dial app from
the agi script?
No, again, the Dial app won't return control to the AGI script until after the call is complete. You're pretty much going to have to do whatever you want to do prior to executing Dial or after the call is complete. Of course, you could create a separate thread which runs parallel to the channel thread and does various monitoring tasks, but that would require some C programming skills.
