[Freeswitch-users] dialplan ring_ready/sleep question

[Steve Richardson]

Hello,

I am attempting to use the dialplan ring_ready and sleep applications as 
follows (from my public.xml file):

<extension name="foo">
<condition field="destination_number" expression="5551234567">
<!-- indicate ringing to the caller for a configurable amount of time 
(in ms)-->
<action application="ring_ready" />
<action application="sleep" data="30000"/>

<!-- hang up if no answer (goes busy after?) -->
<action application="hangup" data="NO_ANSWER"/>
</condition>
</extension>

My intent is to have the incoming call in the ring state for up to 30 
seconds, during which time I would like to issue API commands from my 
custom application (which is using the event socket interface) to 
transfer the call to various places.

The issue that I'm having is that the sleep seems to be 
non-interruptable.  If I try to issue a uuid_transfer command to 
transfer the sleeping channel somewhere, it seems the sleep timer has to 
expire before it will transfer.  Similarly, if the caller disconnects, 
the channel stays around until the sleep timer expires, and then it is 
destroyed.

Is there some way to wake a sleeping channel out of sleep?  I've looked 
for anything obvious and tried a number of things to no avail.  
Alternately, is there a better way to approach this?

thanks,
Steve
