asterisk users - May 2004 - dial application - continue in context

Hi All,
I'm tring to do some DB operations before and after a call. I see the
'g' option in dial to continue in context if the destination hangs up,
but what if the originator hangs up?
 
Basically I do a DB get/put before the call is placed. After the call is
completed I want to do another get/put; however the dial application
dies when the originator hangs up.
 
Any way to get around this? Perhaps there is a better way to do this
(AGI?)
 
Thanks,
Brett

You either need to run a CRON job for this clean up, or do that at the 
beginning of the next call - whatever suits you better.

Note: The h extension is not reliable enough to solve your problem.

Not reliable - ask bkw for details, he can elaborate.
