[asterisk-users] How to Hangup after DIAL is completed

[Pete Kay]

Dear Tony,

Thank you very much for your suggestion.
The thing is that ${DIALSTATUS} returns ANSWER regardless of whether the
called party hangs up or not.
For instance, when called party is being asked by Asterisk whether he/she
wants to pick the call, ${DIALSTATUS} returns ANSWER.

In the case where the called party accepts to take the call and then hangs
up after finishing the conversion, I want to stop AGI from jumping to call
the next number.  On the other hand, if the called party decides not to take
the call, I want to let AGI to jump to the next number.

It seems like ${DIALSTATUS} does not give me the info that I need.

Thank you very much.  Is there any other ways you may think of?

Thanks,
Pete
