|Subject: [Asterisk-Users] Background asynchronous AGI
|
|I have been writing a lot of AGI programs in C with good success.
|I would like somehow to have an AGI program continue in the 
|background while the pbx execution returns to the dialplan and 
|continues. Is this possible? I was thinking that perhaps I 
|could fork or create another thread within the AGI prog.
|
|The reason I want to do so is in order to monitor external 
|information (e.g. credit limit and realtime cost of the 
|current call) and then perhaps hang up the call, transfer it 
|or play an announcement to it.
|
|I'm aware I could do this with a separate control program 
|using the Manager API, but I like the idea of it being done 
|per-call on demand using AGI if possible.
|
|Can anyone suggest any ideas or better techniques?
|
|Thanks in advance!
|Tony
