i was able to create a daemon that queries a database every 2 seconds for outbound calls. the daemon originates a call to a destination determined by the database. what i've noticed is, after the originate, the script never does anything else. it seems i have to use "Async" or the AMI will disconnect, so i tried using OriginateHack=>1 but still no dice... any ideas? <div>

Alex is pointing you in the right direction. You should want a single<br>
daemon running that then gets notified by the voicemail script, either<br>
through a FIFO, a socket, or by dropping a file in a watched<br>
directory.<br>
<br>
If you are going to write a daemon, I would suggest looking at :<br>

<br>
It has integration with event loops and should work well for what you<br>
are doing. It also has some features for detecting disconnects and<br>
timeouts.<br>
