What you are trying to do is not possible in this fashion. The bridge occurs in the same thread as the perl script. The thread can only do one thing at a time.

If you need to know the dial status while the thread is still running you'll want a separate event socket app running and listening for channel status events. If you just need to know the dial status once the bridge is complete (i.e. once the call ends) then just use a api_hangup_hook chan var to launch a script to do whatever it is that you need done.

It does.

You can check the events by connecting to FS on inbound mode, or using FS outbound socket connection to an application designed by you.

As you already have a perl script to interact with FS, you can modify it to connect to FS (inbound mode) and listen for events. You can subscribe to the events of a particular call, or filter an specific set of events. I haven’t used Asterisk before so I’m not sure how the AGI fits on the FS architecture.

You can get more info at:
http://wiki.freeswitch.org/wiki/Mod_event_socket

And a working demo at:

Sam,

Does this require event sockets? Or how would I check these events?

Hi Sam,

My guess is that you can subscribe to the events of the channel and evaluate the channel events. Look at:

http://wiki.freeswitch.org/wiki/Event_List

specifically the channel events list.

Subject: [Freeswitch-users] Asterisk dial status

Hi,

I am trying to port over an Asterisk AGI script that does a call bridge to Freeswitch using perl, I wanted to know what is the equivalent of the asterisk dial status like: ANSWER, NO_ANSWER, CANCEL, BUSY, CONGESTION, CHANUNAVAIL ? I wanted to know if what methods can be used to gets these statues?
