Hi Michael,

thanks for taking the time to reply.
You're right, I hadn't realised that sched_del was api only :)

I have tested sched_cancel and it works, but it removes all scheduled broadcasts that have been set.
This is visible by calling "show tasks" from the fs_cli before and after the sched_cancel is called.

Do you think there is a way of passing a task id to the application to cancel a specific broadcast?

I can work around the issue by re-adding the other broadcasts, by calculating the duration of the call and subtracting that from the time passed to the sched_broadcast, but would be nicer to be able to cancel the one schedule :) 

I will be happy to update the wiki, though I may need a little guidance in doing so as I've not done so before.

Again thanks for your time :)

thanks
Matt

Hi Matt,

I hope you're willing to try a few things and report back. You're using session.execute to execute a dialplan application (sched_boradcast). However, sched_del is actually an API, not a dialplan application (i.e. you type sched_api blah blah at fs_cli). It just so happens that there are some dialplan apps that perform the same function as their API counterparts:
sched_broadcast
sched_hangup
sched_transfer

However, there are some that are different: sched_del (API) vs. sched_cancel (dialplan app). If you're confused don't worry - it happens to everyone until they firmly grasp the difference between an API command and a dialplan application.

To remove the scheduled broadcast try this:
session.execute("sched_cancel")

If it works then you can maybe add sched_cancel to the dptools wiki page. :)

Let us know how it goes,
Michael

Hi,

is it possible to remove a sheduled broadcast within javascript?

I have:
session.execute("sched_broadcast", "+60 /tmp/test.mp3 both");

But if for some reason I no longer need the broadcast to occur I need to
delete it.  Looking on the Wiki I have found "sched_del" but cannot see
how to get the task id for the broadcast to implement it.

Any help would be appreciated.

thanks
Matt
