Thanks for the replies. I have realised that I can catch the execution after the agi statement (if it fails) in the h priority, which I then use to play an error message to the caller.

As you suggested, I am setting a variable in the agi script so that the h priority knows whether the agi script succeeded or not.

Hello,

I'm new to the list so I hope I'm asking the question in the right
place.  In our extensions.conf, we call an AGI script using the AGI
command.

e.g.

exten => 11,1,Answer
exten => 11,2,Wait(0.5)
exten => 11,3,Playback(welcome1)
exten => 11,4,agi(agi://192.168.1.88/hello.agi?src=test|${CALLERID})



If for some reason, the AGI script fails to run (e.g. our AGI prog isn't
running), can we detect it and direct the call to a pre-recorded message?


What I personally would do is first set a variable before you run the agi
(i.e. completionstatus to "beforerun") then run the AGI.  Once inside the AGI,
set the variable for completion status.  I.E. you could have ran well, failed
with x etc etc.  Then on the next priority, you can check this variable and
via gotoif for the various statuses (including "beforerun" which would mean
that the AGI didn't run at all).

While this doesn't exactly answer your question, it is the best way to use
multiple statuses.

Make sense?
