[Asterisk-Users] Re: Working with an ongoing call

[Waldo Rubinstein]

Adam,

That's an interesting approach. I have a general question that arose  
from your comment. You suggest using the h extension (or g option of  
Dial) to reduce credit. What would happen if asterisk is restarted or  
crashes with ongoing calls? Is there any trace of those calls in  
order to reduce the time used? I assume you can't always guarantee  
all calls will be handled gracefully.

Thanks,
Waldo
