The ONLY way (how's that for humble) to do this in a reliable and robust method is to use a real database. Personally, I like MySQL and I prefer to do database work in an AGI in a compiled language like C. Maintaining the accumulated duration in a global variable will fail if you need to restart Asterisk at any time. A global variable will also "fail" if you have more than 1 call finish at the same time. Parsing log files is guaranteed to be a resource pig and still has race conditions. -- Thanks in advance, ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Steve Edwards [email protected] Voice: +1-760-468-3867 PST Newline Fax: +1-760-731-3000 -- _____________________________________________________________________ -- Bandwidth and Colocation Provided by http://www.api-digital.com -- New to Asterisk?
