sched_api

Schedule an API call in the future.

Usage:

sched_api [+@]<time> <group_name> <command_string>[&]

<time> is the UNIX timestamp at which the command should be executed. If it is prefixed by +, <time> specifies the number of seconds to wait before executing the command. If prefixed by @, it will execute the command periodically every <time> seconds; for the first instance it will be executed after <time> seconds.

<group_name> will be the value of "Task-Group" in generated events. "none" is the proper value for no group. If set to UUID of channel (example: ${uuid}), task will automatically be unscheduled when channel hangs up.

<command_string> is the command to execute at the scheduled time.

A scheduled task or group of tasks can be revoked with sched_del or unsched_api.

You could append the "&" symbol to the end of the line to executed this command in its own thread.

Example:

sched_api +1800 none originate sofia/internal/1000%${sip_profile} &echo()
sched_api @600 check_sched log Periodic task is running...
sched_api +10 ${uuid} chat verto|fs@mydomain.com|1000@mydomain.com|Hello World
