[asterisk-users] Answered time on channel

[Eric Wieling]

Don't use an 'h' extension, use a hangup handler.
Use the MASTER_CHANNEL() function to set variables to ensure they are 
always set in the "top most" channel.  Below is an untested example, but 
is inspired by dialplan code I use in production.  Maybe it will help.

[outbound] ; this is called on the incoming (caller) channel
exten => _X.,1,Noop
  same => n,Set(MASTER_CHANNEL(start_timestamp)=${STRFTIME(,,%s.%3q)})
  same => n,Set(CHANNEL(hangup_handler_push)=hangup_handler,s,1)
  same => n,Set(MASTER_CHANNEL(callid_ingress)=${SIPCALLID})
same => n, *** unrelated dialplan, AGIs, etc. ***
  same => n,Dial(SIP/${EXTEN}@1.1.1.1 
<mailto:EXTEN%7D at 1.1.1.1>,,U(answer_handler)b(pre_dial_handler^s^1)g
  same => n, *** dialplan for the caller when the callee hangs up first, 
not run when caller hangs up first.  use it to try dialing another 
destination, play intercept to caller, etc. ***


[pre_dial_handler] ; this is called on the outgoing (callee) channel
exten => s,1,Noop
  same => n,Set(MASTER_CHANNEL(callid_egress)=${SIPCALLID})
  same => n,Set(MASTER_CHANNEL(dial_timestamp)=${STRFTIME(,,%s.%3q)})
  same => n,Return


[answer_handler] ; run on outgoing (callee) channel, but sets 
answer_timestamp in the caller channel
exten => s,1,Noop
  same => n,Set(MASTER_CHANNEL(answer_timestamp)=${STRFTIME(,,%s.%3q)})
  same => n,Return


[hangup_handler]  ; run on incoming (caller) channel, use to do final 
post call cleanup
exten => s,1,Noop
same => n,Set(MASTER_CHANNEL(hangup_timestamp)=${STRFTIME(,,%s.%3q)})
   same => n, ***post call cleanup AGIs, dialplan, etc.***
same => n,Return
