[Asterisk-Users] executing an agi script after a successful Dial

[Dave Packham]

is there any way to keep those vars around until after h goes away?    maybe move the "free" routiene to after h is done?

Hi Dan,

no wonder. when the h extension is called the channel (including all
the channel variables you want to read with get_var) is gone. pass the
channel variables you need to acces as an argument to the agi script,
e.g.: exten => h,1,AGI(myagi.agi,${EXTEN} ${CALLERIDNUM})

regards
