RE: [Asterisk-Users] agi scripting in perl - dealiing withunexpected disconnects gracefully / spurious DTMF

2004-02-19 Thread Tim Petlock 
Thanks - that gave me the basis for a couple of google searches.
Near the top of the script I put in
$SIG{HUP} = \exitGracefully;

and I added a subroutine that looks like this:

sub exitGracefully {
exit(0);
}

It now kills itself off without needing to be killed and take * with it.

THANKS!!!

 If everything is entered correctly and perfectly the script works and
 the call goes through.  However, I've found that if I enter only a
 partial calling card number and then hang up the script will
continue
 to run with the perl process that it lives inside of taking up lots of
 processor time and for each failed call you get one of those
 disconnected processor-hungry processes.

When a user disconnects and asterisk hangs up the line, it closes it's
side of the pipes it uses to talk to AGI. If you don't handle a null
read from the pipe as a hangup, then it writes commands to asterisk and
then gets a null read back and loops hard and fast.

Maybe if I get some more time later I'll read the rest of that lengthy
post and see if there are more answers for you.

Also since you are using Asterisk::AGI you can register a callback that
gets called when most of the AGI commands return error/hangup.

 I need to do something like this because I've timed calls with a

 are 20 seconds longer (or more) than the actual call time.  I understand
 that the actual call time includes the time spent entering and
 validating data but I've sat and timed it with a stopwatch and the CDR
 is always longer than reality.

Hi Tim,

In my case, the CDRs are longer because asterisk last inbetween 5 an 10
seconds to detect the hangup. You should take that into account.
