Hi,

I've no idea to do that with pure dialplan, however you can do that via a daemon that talks AMI protocol, I already do that. Via AGI/FastAGI it may be possible, I'm not really sure. ARI should also usable for this use case, never tested yet.

For the AMI daemon, you can use the programming language you want, Personally, I use Python for that.

BTW, I recommend you to use an external daemon instead of to write a C module because if your business logic crashes, it's less grave outside of Asterisk instead of inside, it should crash all of your telephony.

However, apparently it's possible via dialplan, it's better to use that with an external daemon.

Hello Everyone,

I apologise this might look like a user mailing list question but it's more
of a developers question. I think this is the only forum that can help me.

I have spent a week trying to achieve this. I realize I might have to write
a C or PERL extension to achieve it but I don't know where to start. Or
might need to rebuild the dial funtion.
Objective:
I want to dial a number in asterisk via a sip-trunk, and when the other
party answers the call, I want to test if the call was answered before 5
seconds, or after 5 seconds.
If it was answered in less than 5 seconds I want to cancel the call,
otherwise the call should continue.

Your guidance will highly be appreciated.

Regards,
Fred Muteesa
