asterisk users - Jul 2008 - Call files with a timer?

Is there a way to set a call timer on calls created with call files? I'm 
looking specifically at having Asterisk hang up the call after a certain 
period of connection.

Obviously, when I try passing an |S(time)  on the channel line, I get an 
invalid call file... so I'm wondering if there's another way to do it.

You could always to something like...

exten => _NXXNXXXXXX,1,Set(OutboundNumber=${EXTEN})
exten => _NXXNXXXXXX,n,goto(s,1)
exten => s,1,Dial(SIP/${OutboundNumber}@to-wherever|60| 
L(10800000:60000:30000))

may not be pretty, but is quick & dirty ;)

You should be able to put S(time) as part of the Data: line of the callfile. 
Something like the following:

Channel: SIP/1
Application: Dial
Data SIP/2||S(time)
