[asterisk-users] 1.6, CDR and h extension

[Benny Amorsen]

I have two version 1.6 Asterisks running. One is a small hobbyist
thing just at home, and the other is handling calls for several
customers.

On both, I have added the line 

exten => h,1,Set(CDR(hangupcause)=${HANGUPCAUSE})

to all relevant contexts.

On my little hobbyist box this works perfectly; all calls have their
hangupcauses recorded with cdr_adaptive_odbc and cdr_custom. On the
production server, it only works sporadically; for 4 out of 5 calls
the hangupcause field is empty. If I look at the Asterisk console, I
see a message like this for every call:

-- Executing [h at CallToVPBX:1] Set("DAHDI/49-1", "CDR(hangupcause)=16")
   in new stack

Unfortunately hangupcause doesn't actually make it to the database or
the csv file, despite that message.

My cdr.conf on both servers:

[general]
enable=yes
batch=yes
size=10
time=60
scheduleronly=no
safeshutdown=yes
endbeforehexten=no

I am probably just being stupid somehow, but I cannot figure out what
is wrong. Both asterisks are 1.6.0.1-2.fc10.
