Make your AGI script fork itself; have the child process detach, and the parent process exit. Then, the AGI call will return quickly to the dialplan; and meanwhile, the script can continue in the background at its own leisure. Example code (Perl) follows: #!/usr/bin/perl -w use strict; use Asterisk::AGI; my $child_pid; my $AGI = new Asterisk::AGI; my %params = $AGI->ReadParse(); $SIG{CHLD} = "IGNORE"; if ($child_pid = fork) { # This is executed in the parent process exit; } elsif (defined $child_pid) { # This is executed in the child process close STDIN; close STDOUT; close STDERR; # Now we are detached # # This is where we do the funky stuff # exit; } else { # Oh, s#!t die "Could not fork: $!"; }; # We should never, ever get here exit; -- AJS Answers come *after* questions. -- _____________________________________________________________________ -- Bandwidth and Colocation Provided by http://www.api-digital.com -- New to Asterisk?
