SetGlobalVar and Threads

Hi all,

I want to have a global count when the users select record (i.e: each user will leave a message in the form: question-ID.wav), I use the following:
exten => 1,1,SetGlobalVar(questionID=$[${questionID} + 1])
exten => 1,2,record(/var/lib/asterisk/questions/quest-${questionID}:wav)

It seems to works with 1 user. But I wonder whether it is thread safe. What happen when 2 users calling at the same time? They would get the same questionID and it is bad.

Thanks in advance for any suggestion,

Phil

Not 100% sure, and a difficult one to test. You may go to the Asterisk channel on irc.freenode.net to find out. The sure solution would be to use an external database, such as MySQL, to provide a store of your questionID.
