Re: [asterisk-users] Can a duration limit be specified in spool call file?

2011-02-08 Thread Bruce B
Thanks Faisal. That is it. I was confused by the fact that there is also the
Context, Extension, and Priority in the .call file that should be filled
along with the Channle: local. I found out that the call file first
calls the local channel context and once that is connected then it moves
onto the second context that is defined in subsequent the variables. Indeed
this was what was throwing me off.

 Hi,

 If you need full control on both legs of call you can redirect Leg-1 to
 your dialplan as Channel: 
 Local/your-extension@your-context/nLocal/your-extension@your-context/n and
 from there you control the Leg-1 using dial-plan or AGI as you like while
 Leg is normally comes to dialplan and totally in controll.

 Bruce,

 All in all, I don't think it's that hostile, it just goes through
 cycles...maybe a good number of us may indeed have estrogen issues and it's
 the moon, who knows ;-) LOL

oh and didn't you guys already have your little histrionics sessin about
trimming the goddamned emails, mailing list etiquette about top posting
versus bottom, etc../..

My complaint is not something as trivial as where one should reply in a
mailing list email, or if one should trim emails every time he replies to
the list... The reason why I have my occasional bitch session at a few
emails is not that I want to be a policeman..it's twofold...

1. I don't let my son pull that shit when I know he can at least partially
figure it out...He'll learn it 4-5 times slower if he's just handed answers
to problems...Look at it this way, at least I only reply to emails playing
mailing list policeman (gotta love how that was thrown in just before the
gentlemen played his own version of enforcer of etiquette) occasionally...my
kid hears it all the time
2. I can only take so many years of doing my best to NOT be one of those
people who get a ticket from the list police, learning 98% of my trade by
experimentation and research, until I start feeling like it's fairly rude to
see the amount of please give me the information without me having to put
in much work that this list has become...go read the archives...it's
getting exponentially worse...

Let me close by saying, Bruce, I did go overboard on your email. I
apologize. You'll find that I don't do THAT often either, but I am a man,
and I'm not playing the it's the internet so my balls are 250% bigger
game.

Novack, I'll close by saying, have a nice day...and I'll keep trimming
occassionally, as I always have...what can I say, I'm not THAT concerned

Good to know you are not short of space :-) I hope everyone else upgrades as
well.

I wouldn't have minded you saying, *This topic is fully covered in /Doc
folder and in asterisk Wiki. Reference URL: .* in one or two lines
that was relevant. To go on a lecture.

I may still not agree with your points but apology accepted and no hurt
feelings here either.

I hope that Asterisk mailing list becomes a less hostile list day by day.

 No, but you can specify a Local channel as the channel in the call file and
 then set a TIMEOUT(absolute) for the call, before you Dial() the actual

That only limits the amount of time the callfile allows for the channel to

 Hi Everyone,

 I don't see any parameter for limiting duration of a call in the
 .call file for Asterisk spool outgoing directory.

 I'd rather not use a MeetMe to drop the call in a conference room
 and to then limit the call duration as that complicates things
 unnecessarily.

 I am wondering if there is anything else I can do or if the
 Channel parameter take call duration like the DIAL parameter?

 No, but you can specify a Local channel as the channel in the call
 file and then set a TIMEOUT(absolute) for the call, before you Dial()
 the actual channel you want to use.  Keep in mind that the actual
 channel could be specified by a Set variable in the callfile.

 what about this

 *WaitTime: number* Seconds to wait for an answer. Default is 45
 http://www.voip-info.org/wiki/view/Asterisk+auto-dial+out
 
 That only limits the amount of time the callfile allows for the channel to
 be answered, not the duration of the overall call.
 

A way to be able to specify a limit on the call itself would be to make
a callfile that calls a Local channel, which then performs the Dial
with the L option
