[asterisk-users] Call limit per sip account user.

[Alex Balashov]

Hi Jonson,

On Wed, 23 May 2007, Jonson Player said something to this effect:

   Take a look at the 'L' option to the Dial() application:

 	http://www.voip-info.org/wiki-Asterisk+cmd+Dial

---

   #  L(x[:y][:z]): Limit the call to 'x' ms, warning when 'y' ms are left, 
repeated every 'z' ms) Only 'x' is required, 'y' and 'z' are optional. The 
following special variables are optional for limit calls: (pasted from 
app_dial.c)

     * LIMIT_PLAYAUDIO_CALLER - yes|no (default yes) - Play sounds to
       the caller.
     * LIMIT_PLAYAUDIO_CALLEE - yes|no - Play sounds to the callee.
     * LIMIT_TIMEOUT_FILE - File to play when time is up.
     * LIMIT_CONNECT_FILE - File to play when call begins.
     * LIMIT_WARNING_FILE - File to play as warning if 'y' is defined. If
       LIMIT_WARNING_FILE is not defined, then the default behaviour is to
       announce ("You have [XX minutes] YY seconds").

   You can use this for inbound and outbound calls, I imagine, because
even calls that get internally routed are so routed by means of the
Dial() command, which means you can set the limit on an inbound leg.

   Hope that helps.
