I haven't done this for a while... yes, that is my excuse.
What the heck is wrong with this?
[general]
autofallthrough=yes
....
exten => s,n(prompt),NoOp()
exten => s,n,Background(wish-to-continue)
exten => s,n,Background(1-yes-2-no)
exten => s,n,WaitExten(5)
; User entered nothing
exten => t,1,Playback(yes-dear)
exten => t,n,Goto(s,prompt)
It never gets to the timeout extension when the user enters nothing. I tried it
with autofallthrough set to no as well. No change. Asterisk 1.2. What am I
missing?
Doug.

Add exten = s,n, verbose(Dooh!) exten = s,n, hangup() exten = 1,1, verbose(yes) exten = 1,n, hangup() exten = 2,1, verbose(no) exten = 2,n, hangup() after waitexten().

Hi, It may have to do with the version of Asterisk. I have (basically) the same coding on an Asterisk V1.4.18 box, and a V1.6 SVN test box - in both boxes the Asterisk does execute the => t,1,Playback(connection-timed-out) when nothing is entered. The only differences I can see between your coding and mine, is that a) I simply use the default timeout (i.e., "WaitExten() "); but don't see why this matters, and b) I use the "m" option in the Background command, since I have a one-key extension. You could try using, exten => s,n,Set(TIMEOUT(absolute)=5) before the Background command, and see if this works. Gerald H.
