Yes. I had tried that. Put a sleep 15 in the shell script before I looked at the file. Same results however. FS just does not appear to be closing that record file on hangup. -----Original Message----- From: freeswitch-users-bounces@lists.freeswitch.org [mailto:freeswitch-users-bounces@lists.freeswitch.org] On Behalf Of Michael S Collins Sent: Monday, December 29, 2008 10:51 AM To: freeswitch-users@lists.freeswitch.org Subject: Re: [Freeswitch-users] session_record post-processing I wonder if putting a sleep statement in your shell script might help. If it's a timing issue then possibly the shell script is trying to access the file before FS and/or the OS are done with it. You would need to tinker with how long to sleep in order to find a value that works in all cases. -MC
