I already use ODBC for that purpose, and it works well.
However, in this case it's the Asterisk internal database, purely local to the
machine, which needs manipulating.

Hm, in fact I am already using the g option, because I want to detect channel states such as Unavailable and Congestion (in which case I try an alternative route to dial out with). I suppose if I detect the DIALSTATUS is ANSWER then I know the call got answered and has now ended.

Example: exten => 1234,1,Dial(SIP/deskphone,120,g) same => n,Dial(SIP/cordlessphone) same => n,Hangup() Extension 1234 dials a deskphone. If "deskphone" answer... bla bla bla... and after "deskphone" hangs up, the "cordlessphone" is dialed. -- _ -- Bandwidth and Colocation Provided by http://www.api-digital.com -- Check out the new Asterisk community forum at: https://community.asterisk.org/ New to Asterisk?
