asterisk users - Sep 2005 - limiting calls per day based on amount of time

How to implement call limitation based on amount of time call per day.

I've implemented the Dial "L" parameter but in addition I would
like to
limit an extension to certain amount of call time per day.

Hello,
I'm going to be starting implementing something like this in ASTPP.  I 
don't know of any very easy way to do it at present though.  We did 
implement a solution similar to this using ASTCC.  If you're interested 
email me off list.

Something that is not very accurate:

check once in a while based on the number of records in the CDR. There
should be ways to make that check cheap.

More accurate: hold a counter. Incremet it in the dial macro. This may
require a simple agi.

So make that counter per-extension. The database is probably a place for
that counter. DbGet and DbPut for setting/reading. Not sure about any
way of atomically incrementing it. But then again, can you have two
calls to the same lie at the same time?
