Thanks Leon 
 
I will implement and test but I knew there would be a fix for what I believe
is a short coming in app_queue. How do I suggest this as a option to the
base code?

Paddy, 

This appears to be how the queue app works. I ended up patching the queue
app:

diff --git a/apps/app_queue.c b/apps/app_queue.c
index e3a4e22..72072d0 100644
--- a/apps/app_queue.c
+++ b/apps/app_queue.c
@@ -4571,7 +4571,7 @@ static int ring_one(struct queue_ent *qe, struct
callattempt *outgoing, int *bus
                        struct callattempt *cur;
                        /* Ring everyone who shares this best metric (for
ringall) */
                        for (cur = outgoing; cur; cur = cur->q_next) {
-                               if (cur->stillgoing && !cur->chan &&
cur->metric <= best->metric) {
+                               if (cur->stillgoing && !cur->chan &&
cur->metric >= qe->min_penalty * 1000000 && cur->metric <= qe->max_penalty *
1000000) {
                                        ast_debug(1, "(Parallel) Trying '%s'
with metric %d\n", cur->interface, cur->metric);
                                        ret |= ring_entry(qe, cur, busies);
                                }

So the penalties get calculated during the 'ringall' strategy and allowing
the queue app to exit, looping and raising the max penalty and calling the
queue app again.

Hi John
 
This works fine providing extensions 1001,1002 and 1003 are "Incall" or
"Paused" - the problem appears to be that is a handset say 1002 is "ringing"
then the 2xxx then the penalty is not honoured.
 
This is well described in the History section of the following link
https://wiki.freepbx.org/display/PPS/lazymembers+patch+to+app_queue
 
As I say this seems to be a real shortcoming in app_queue. 
 
Any ideas, suggestions, anyone want to work with me to sort this ?

This should work, How are you defining your timeouts in the queues.conf ? 


And to verify, in your extensions.conf you are calling Queue with the queue
name and the ruleset to apply from queuerules.conf?

Hi All 
 
I have been looking at this problem for a few days/weeks now and after some
advice please.
 
I currently have a customer on 11.25.3 and I am in the process of upgrading
versions and OS (Debian) and all things that involves mysql -> PDO etc
 
The problem I have is the customer want a simple call distribution like this
 
Extn 1001, 1002, 1003 to be called on an incoming call - if they don't
answer after 20 seconds then 2001, 2002, 2003 to be added to the ringing
extensions and if no one answers after another 20 seconds the add in 3001,
3002, 3003.
 
Seems a simple queue application to me
 
1001, 1002 and 1003 in the queue with a penalty of 1 strategy ringall

2001, 2002 and 2003 in the queue with a penalty of 2 strategy ringall

3001, 3002 and 3003 in the queue with a penalty of 3 strategy ringall
 
and rules 
 
increasing the maxpenalty 1->2 after 20 seconds
and increasing maxpenalty 2->3 after another 20 seconds.
 
But this doesn't work if users don't answer!!
 
if user 1002 or (2001 etc)  just lets his phone ring - he forgot to logoff
or DND then the penalty is ignored.
 
There seems to have been a patch for FreePBX on V13 - LazyMembers - but that
is all I can find and later versions have no mention of this 
 
I guess I can use autopause and some AMI / Script but this stops phones
ringing because of the timeout so the user has a ringing phone and then it
stops and then it starts again whereas the penalty just adds handsets into
the ringing group.
 
This seems to be a real shortcoming in app_queue.
 
Any ideas, suggestions, anyone want to work with me to sort this ?
