asterisk users - Feb 2014 - h extension isn't processed after call file finishes.

Hi all,

I'm trying to build a fax relay mechanism where faxes come in and get
relayed out to their final destination.  I'm using the h extension to store
various results from both legs.  This data is being saved correctly for the
first (receiving) leg. The second leg isn't calling the h extension when
it's finished.  The second leg is being initiated by a .call file like:

Channel: local/1505xxxxxxx at context
Application: sendfax
Data: /tmp/voice11-voice11-1392668806.182025.tiff,zfds
WaitTime: 90
MaxRetries: 2
Account: vFax
CallerID: "Fax" <505xxxxxxx>

The h extension calls an agi scrip that logs a bunch of information about
the fax attempt.  Works just fine when I receive a fax.  But there is no
sign of it in the logs for the sending leg of the fax.

Is there something I need to do in order to get the h extension to get
called?

Mike.

Would the 'g' dial() option help?

"Proceed with dialplan execution at the current extension if the 
destination channel hangs up."

It won't take you to h, but it may allow you to do what you need to do -- 
even if the next dialplan priority just says 'goto h.'
