Hi,
What I did is first to dig a bit into the app_dial.c. I saw how the
ANSWEREDTIME variable
is created (end_time - answer_time). Then I added some lines to export the
answer_time variable
as a channel variable. I added these lines right after the answer_time
decleration (line 1426 in ver 1.4.4)
compiled and replaced the module.
char toast2[80];
snprintf(toast2, sizeof(toast2), "%ld",
(long)(answer_time));
pbx_builtin_setvar_helper(chan, "ANSWERTIME", toast2);
This will put the call start time in unix timestamp in the channel variable
ANSWERTIME. That's
all. Hope it's helping.
Adi.

Hi Adi,
My be better if you send us the code about how did you do to catch and
retrive the data from asterisk.
