Question regarding flow

Asterisk Asterisk Support

I am implementing the Monitor() command for calls. And i have experienced a couple things. What i want to accomplish is this…
Record the calls… when the call is finished, merge the two files into a single wav and then email me the wav. All of which work fine per se , the problem is in the timing.

When executing a block, i do this:
exten => s,1,Answer
exten => s,2,playback(pls-wait-connect-call)
exten => s,3,playback(this-call-may-be-monitored-or-recorded)
exten => s,4,Monitor(wav,TestRecord,m)
exten => s,5,Dial(SIP/2230115555551212@1.2.3.4,g)
exten => s,6,Macro(sendRecording)

The macro looks like this:
exten => s,1,SetVar(EMAILADDR=theaddress@gmail.com)
exten => s,2,system(mime-construct --to ${EMAILADDR} --subject “Recording” --attachment “TestRecord.wav” --type wav --file /var/spool/asterisk/monitor/TestRecord.wav)

What happens is this, the moment the call ends it fires off the email send macro which works, and AFTER this the merger of the current files happens…
Example:

the bold sections i want to fire in reverse order of current…

I need to wait until this process is complete before sending the email. Is there an event that I can use to call this macro so that it is outside of the scope of the call block… OR is there a way that I can schedule a recurring function ( say for instance every hour to loop through the directory and send me the file(s) )

you may use cron to sheduling some action
for edit run 'crontab -e’
add this string
*/5 * * * * for i in ls /var/spool/asterisk/monitor/*.wav|grep -v in|grep -v out; do mime-construct --to theemail@gmail.com --subject “Recording” --attachment “TestRecord.wav” --type wav --file /var/spool/asterisk/monitor/$i ;done;

this is one string!!! in one line!!!

so, it sending all files from /var/spool/asterisk/monitor/ which has no ‘in’ or ‘out’ part in name , and do cheking every 5 minutes :wink:

but also you can use something like
exten => 6,1, sleep(1000);1000 second wait before send :wink:

or
use monitor without m-option, and use soxmix for mixing MANUALY from SYTEM command.

thanks for the quick response. I’ll check out these options.

Appreciate the help!

another way
do:
mv which soxmix /usr/local/bin/soxmix_old
this must rename soxmix to soxmix_old
than write script
—cut here—
#!/bin/sh
/usr/local/bin/soxmix_old $1 $2 $3
rm $1 $2
mime-construct --to a@com.com --subject “Recording” --attachment “$3” --type wav --file $3
– cut here–
save it to /usr/local/bin/soxmix
and do
chmod a+x /usr/local/bin/soxmix

now all request to soxmix in monitor whill be to soxmix script :wink:

anather way - edit ./res/res_monitor.c and recompile asterisk
