[Freeswitch-users] How to tell if a call timed out

[Mark Sobkow]

I'm using the originate command from Erlang, specifying a timeout of 30 
seconds.  It is properly giving up on dialing, but it's still returning 
a call UUID instead of an error/timed out status.

How can I query Freeswitch to determine whether the call was answered or 
timed out, without resorting to the event interface?  (I could put 
together a dialplan that calls the event interface after doing the 
originate, but from what I've seen that event interface won't execute if 
the previous command "fails", such as when I did a play_and_get_digits 
timing out.)
