[asterisk-users] AGI and paging

[Jeff LaCoursiere]

Hello,

I have an AGI (in C) on 1.4.26.3 that puts a caller on hold, does a few 
things, then blind transfers the call (with EXEC Dial...) to a parking 
space.  This is working fine.

Now I want to add an overhead page AFTER the transfer has happened, 
basically announcing that there is a caller waiting.  Trouble is the 
channel is gone, and my "EXEC Page..." is returning -1.

I had to trap SIGALRM to keep the channel teardown from killing the AGI 
program in the first place (though I tried DeadAGI first - it still gets a 
SIGALRM when the Dial is complete).

It seems that I should be able to do the "EXEC Page" as a new channel... 
why is it not allowing it?

Also open to any other implementation ideas.  The AGI has an AMI 
connection open and I suppose I could try something via AMI for the page?

Thanks for any clues!
