[Asterisk-Dev] Setting conference room timeout

[Dan Austin]

Not exactly.  I run the PHP script as a daemon with stratigically placed
sleep statements.
I check for active conferences once a minute.  I then lookup the
scheduled endtime of the conference,
play an announcement if the endtime is 5 minutes from the current check,
then use the manager
API to issue a 'kick all'.  The five minute warning allows the clients
to extend the conference through
a web page, and as I check the endtime of active conference once a
minute I don't kick empty
conferences and allow for extensions.
 
The script is crude, but works fine for our needs.
 
Dan

	and you are executing php script on `defined interval` to check
conference timeout value and hang up the conference room ?

		This is more of a -user question, but here's a couple
ideas 
		
		I have a out-of-tree module that stores conference
information
		in a database and includes a termination time.  To
accomplish
		the 'timeout', I have a small PHP script that monitors
for active
		conferences, checks their scheduled end time, gives a
five minute 
		warning and then uses the manager API to shutdown the
conference at
		the correct time.
		
		If you're conferences will not use fixed start/stop
times the
		problem is just a small bit different.  You can use the
manager 
		API to get a list of conferences and their duration,
and if a
		conference is over it's limit, use the manager API to
end the
		conference.
