I will try to execute and parse from python: freeswitch@internal> show channels uuid,direction,created,created_epoch,name,state,cid_name,cid_num,ip_addr,des t,application,application_data,dialplan,context,read_codec,read_rate,write_c odec,write_rate 53a62ebd-156c-4684-b616-740d7a5b609b,inbound,2009-04-23 11:14:09,1240510449,sofia/internal/1000@...,CS_EXECUTE,Mikey,1000,10.15.0.21 3,9999,playback,local_stream://moh,XML,default,PCMU,8000,PCMU,8000 Hoping that this will get the state of the call. If I call this check frequently I will catch the call connect I trust.

Here is how they can be used in your script: # Imports - add these new imports import time import threading # class definitions - add this new class class Timer(threading.Thread): def __init__(self, seconds): self.runTime = seconds threading.Thread.__init__(self) def run(self): time.sleep(self.runTime) console_log("debug", "TIMER ********************") # entry point - add two rows in the entry point function that is called from freeswitch def handler(session, args): . t = Timer(10) t.start() . So what is now remaining is to get when the call CONNECTS and how to get DTMFs during the call.

Thank you for your reply! I know about sched_api and I use Python as a scripting language. Also "sched_api" can be used inside python, using session.execute. However the problem is that the "sched_api" timer starts right after you initiate the SETUP of the second call leg. What I need is to call something, after a call CONNECT instead. One workaround would be if I can check what time it took to connect the call, but I do not know/see how to do this. I do not see a CONNECT callback function either. Best Regards, Delian Tashev P.S. Dear enlightened people, thank you for providing help to the community by replying to the list e-mails.

I like using XML for IVRs, but using scripting langs does give you a bit more power & flexibility at the cost of some resources. For the record, you can do this in the dialplan using XML and sched_api without touching a scripting language. Checkout the sched_api channel variable on the wiki - it may give you the functionality you need. -MC On Wed, Aug 26, 2009 at 7:59 AM, delianSPAM <delianspam@gmail.com> wrote: Hello Everybody! 1. Scenario. I am writing an IVR in Python that gets a destination from the calling party (party A) and then connects to the destination (party B). When the call is CONNECTED, I want to: - Receive DTMFs - Have a timer that can call a certain function in my script. The script will have to play a message to party A. - Have a timer that can call a certain function in my script. The script will have to drop the call. Please notice that I want to do the things after the two parties are connected, and not after I send the Invite to party B. 2. Problem. I will be happy to receive help on: - Which methods should I look for to implement this. 3. Details Here is how I connect the call currently: session.execute("bridge","sofia/internal/" + destination_number + "@domain.com") I have tried to create a timer callback function "my_method()" using: ivr_timer =threading.Timer(30,my_method) This never called the function "my_method()". Maybe I am wrong in using threading.Timer and the "bridge" application? Maybe I need to create a new thread and a new timer using the API of freeswitch, plus to use the "session.setInputCallback", plus use a conference rather than a bridge? Can you please provide any suggestions or examples? Thank you!
