Guys, if you define recording on queues.conf and also define a

isthere a way to do something with the file after the call ends? I need to
move the file to some other place but I cant find where to define a command
to run after a queue call finishes.

Any hints?

Anton,

In "queues.conf" set:

monitor-join=yes

for all queues that you are recording. This will cause soxmix to be executed at the end of the call in order to join the leg files into a single recording. Then backup the soxmix binary and replace it with a script that does whatever you want with the leg files. Your script will be passed 3 arguments (see "show application monitor" at the CLI for more details):

1) The "-in" leg filename.
2) The "-out" leg filename.
3) A target mixed filename.

Odds are that you'll only care about the first two arguments. Here is the script that I use to move the leg files from a RAM disk over an NFS mount to a remote machine which handles mixing and archiving the recordings:

[EMAIL PROTECTED] ~]# cat /usr/bin/soxmix
#!/bin/bash

/bin/nice -n 19 mv --target-directory=/digrec-nfs/ $1 $2
if [ $? -ne 0 ]; then
       echo "Failed to mv '$3'" >> /var/log/asterisk/mvdr_log
       exit 1
fi

exit 0

As you can see, I'm using the third argument to log any failed moves. So far there haven't been any.

There is another option besides replacing soxmix with a custom program. You can use the dialplan variables "MONITOR_EXEC" and "MONITOR_EXEC_ARGS" to tell Monitor() to use another program to mix the leg files. I have found this method to be unreliable. Roughly 1% of the time, Monitor() was not calling the program defined by "MONITOR_EXEC". Replacing soxmix has worked for me 100% of the time (we handle 10,000 - 13,000 recordings a day), so I recommend it as the preferred solution.
