Hello, Is it possible to somehow fork in the dialplan? Say a call comes in. Then I want to wait 30 seconds and then write in a database, but at the same time while I wait I want to go on with other commands too. Thanks, Best regards, Tobias -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

what kind of command do you want it to do in the background? The obvious
answer your question would probably be to use an agi script.

You can call an AGI script that will call another script. That last one would wait 10 seconds and write in the database. The following example works for me:
/var/lib/asterisk/agi-bin/agi-test.agi:

#!/bin/bash
nohup /root/helloworld.sh 1>/dev/null 2>/dev/null &
exit 0

/root/helloworld.sh:

#!/bin/bash
sleep 10
echo "Hello world!" >> /root/helloworld.txt
exit 0

There isn't a fork, but there is a method built in that is rather similar to
the alarm(2) interface in the kernel, which is called Absolute Timeout. The
method of using this is Set(TIMEOUT(absolute)=30), which sets a timer that
will fire in 30 seconds. When that timer fires, any application that is
currently executing will terminate, and you will be redirected to the "T"
extension in the current context. Note that you can also cancel this timer
by using setting the timeout to 0, i.e. Set(TIMEOUT(absolute)=0).

Also note that there can only be a single absolute timeout per channel (i.e.
setting a new timeout resets any timer currently in effect).

Why do you need the first AGI? Would:

Thank you Steve, this seems to work just as I want it to. Now I just have to
figure out how to send variables to a system call, but I think I have that
covered somewhere Smile

Best regards,
Tobias
