True, but in some cases you would want to do more. I have built IVR's that
require some after-call handling. For this I tried to use variables as
well, but failed. The solution in my case was to pass the variables from
the extensions.conf and passing them as arguments to the AGI script rather
then reading them inside the AGI script.

Correct me if i'm wrong but doesn't the cdr modules log the call duration?

Re: [Asterisk-Users] h extension seems to wipe variables?
I would imagine that using some sort of variable temp structure might
help you. However, the trick is keying the database tree so that in
the event of multiple calls at the same time, you're looking at the
"right" tree during your post-call processing. Hmm... is ${CHANNEL}
getting erased in the h context? That would be the "best" key, I
suppose.

unset before the h extension is reached.
[foo]
s,1,SetVar,foo=bar
s,2,Play(audio/a-long-prompt)
h,1,AGI(log-call-duration.pl)
When I do an $agi->get_variable("foo") from the perl, I get the string
"noresponse" returned.
This all works fine if I don't call the AGI from the hangup extension,
but from a normal one instead.

Re: [Asterisk-Users] h extension seems to wipe variables?
Once the call has hungup the AGI functions stop working, so executing an
AGI from an h extension will not do what you expect. but you can still do
all kinds of perl stuff there, so you could stick the info in mysql or
somewhere else
