Hello all, We are setting up an auto-dialer to call customers based on the opening of tickets in our internal ticketing system. Everything is going fine so far except for one snag: To test the system we are implementing I am manually moving .call files into the /var/spool/asterisk/outgoing directory like this: asterisk@dialerdev:~# cp test5703.call /tmp/test.call && mv /tmp/test.call /var/spool/asterisk/outgoing/ This works great and the call is immediately started, however more often than not (ie. not all the time, but most of the time) after answering the call or rejecting it (sending it to voicemail), another call is performed using the same file. I notice that when a call is initiated the .call file is not removed immediately. Instead, asterisk waits until the call is completed before removing the call file, so it seems like 5-10 seconds into the call since the .call file still exists another call is placed. Any advice on how we can avoid this situation and ensure that only one call is made per .call file? The OS is Ubuntu 11.04 server and we're running Asterisk 1.8. Thanks, Two things 1. Asterisk 1.8.what? 2. once the call file goes to /v/s/a/o, it becomes a "self-logger"; the file won't "go away" until Asterisk "senses" that the call is successfully completed. You can counteract this by putting Maxtries:1 in your call file. -- _____________________________________________________________________ -- Bandwidth and Colocation Provided by http://www.api-digital.com -- New to Asterisk?
