[Freeswitch-users] Run dialplan tools from event socket

[João Mesquita]

Lucky for you I have been working on this lately and the bad news is ...
there's no easy way to do it....

You can execute an extension like you said, but you have to park the legs
first... It would help to know how's the transfer_call extension so that I
can try to help you out, but maybe it is easier if you think of it this way:

When you use an app like att_xfer, the core already knows what to do next
with a call and parks the legs for you. If you do it on ESL, you've done it
half way and you didn't really park anything before you transfered the call.
When the bridge is undone, the leg that was not transfered doesn't know what
to do, has no applications to be run at this moment and so all it's left for
it is to let go.

A bit clearer? Att_xfer is a bit of a pain in the butt and it kinda requires
you to know a bit more of the inner workings of the state machine.

You can always execute att_xfer using ESL's execute (
http://wiki.freeswitch.org/wiki/Event_Socket_Library#execute) if you don't
care what happens to the legs afterwards but if you want to have control
over all 3 legs, no luck for you...

João Mesquita
