[Asterisk-Users] Monitor calls timeout

Hi Trevor,

Awfully clever, Trevor. It works brilliantly! Also gives the added
bonus of being able to specify a maximum timout to prevent runaway
recordings. I've raised the Wait(600) to a Wait(900) (15 minutes), and
eliminated the Goto. With busy detection, once both parties hang up,
the call is terminated and a recording is generated. Or if the
recording goes over 15 minutes, it's automatically aborted.

Thanks very much!
