[asterisk-users] Limit total length of calls to a specifig SIP peer

[Mike]

If your server is good enough to handle those queries, I would have a cron
job use the CDR to calculate the time spent this current day every minute or
so, put this value in a text file (or anywhere really) and read it every
call you make to check, and use this as the absolute timeout value for your
call. Then again, if you have one hour left, you should divid this by six
(in case everyone calls out at the same time). 

So if you have 2 hours left, only allow one call to use 120minutes/6

Mike.
