Re: [asterisk-users] Passing call duration to an AGI Script
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. On 6/1/07, Luis Morales [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Hi Adi, My be better if you send us the code about how did you do to catch and retrive the data from asterisk.

[asterisk-users] Passing call duration to an AGI Script

RE: [asterisk-users] Passing call duration to an AGI Script
Hi Adi, AGI is probably best viewed like any other dialplan application (and with DeadAGI something that happens after, but anyway) -- in my opinion. I've seen people do some pretty wild stuff with it, but in the end, when I wonder if the Manager interface or AGI interface is most appropriate for a given task, I ask questions like Would I want to do this with another application? Is this even possible with another application?. In your case, I'd say you probably couldn't say... periodically execute a dialplan application that runs in the middle of a call without interrupting the call (with AGI, anyway).

Hi Martin, Thanks for your reply. Maybe I wasn't clear enough. I am already running AGI periodically inside a call and it runs just fine. I'm using a patch for asterisk (can be found here http://asterisk-backports.org/wiki/index.php/User_talk:KNK) to do so. In short i'm using it for a prepaid system that needs to allow more than one prepaid call to run simultaneously. Anyway, I solved my problem by changing the code a bit.
