[asterisk-users] Manager API: matching an Originate to the Newchannel event

[Nic Bellamy]

Hi,
    I'm having a bit of trouble matching up Newchannel (and Newexten, 
etc. etc.) events with the Originate that created them.

Basically, what I want to do is have software automatically initiate a 
call, and then track the status of that call through to completion.

I can match to some degree with the Channel name in later events, but I 
can't see a way to do this that isn't inherently racey - ie. the person 
dials out, or someone calls in, at the same time as I'm doing my 
Originate, I'm not going to be able to match the events with any degree 
of certainty.

Am I missing the obvious somewhere?

Cheers,
    Nic.
