[asterisk-users] How run AsyncAGI commands in background

[Jose Arias]

Hi all,
I have an external application commanding asterisk by AMI and AsyncAGI. I
also have a dialplan like this:

; AsyncAGI extensions
exten => _8.,1,Noop(entering in AGI loop at 8 ${EXTEN});
exten => _8.,n,AGI(agi:async);
exten => _8.,n,Hangup();

; Meetme extensions
exten => _1.,1,Noop(Conference ${EXTEN} ${CONTEXT});
exten => _1.,n,Set(MEETME_RECORDINGFILE=${EXTEN:}-${UNIQUEID:})
exten => _1.,n,MixMonitor(${MEETME_RECORDINGFILE}.wav)
exten => _1.,n,Meetme(${EXTEN},qdx);
exten => _1.,n,Hangup();

It works fine:

Incoming channels are sent to meetme by an external application, which
receives events by AMI and decides what meetme to use, making a redirect
action to it by AMI. Every channel falling in a meetme (dynamically
created) is recorded by the MixMonitor application.

But there's a little problem:

I don't need to record all calls but only those ones are switable of be
recorded (by some kind of external rules). As it's a waste of cpu and space
to record everything and then to discard almost all of them but some few
ones, I tought to use AsyncAGI to recording only some calls by sending an
AsyncAGI EXE MixMonitor command instead of the dial plan approach.

To do that, the external application, instead of making the redial to
meetme, it must make the redial to an AsyncAGI extension, then it must make
the AGI EXE MixMonitor action, and finally it must make the original
redirect to meetme.

But it doesn't work :-(

When the application reachs the third step (redial to meetme while the
channel is still into the AGI loop, after having sent it the AGI EXE
MixMonitor action) the MixMonitor AGI action is stopped automatically and
the recording ends.

Therefore, does anyone know how to manage that an AsyncAGI action to remain
running in background even if the channel is redirected out of AGI?

Thanks in advanced
Jose
