First off I would like to state that I know freepbx does not support the mp3 conversion of recorded calls.
With that being said I am hoping someone can help me with my dilemma. I have a bash script running as a cronjob that converts recorded wav files to mp3 files and updates the cdr database. The problem I am having is: If there is an in-progress call when the cronjob executes the portion of the call that has yet to be recorded is "lost". The cdr record is also not changed to the new file. I am hoping that someone knows how to modify the existing bash I am using to only run against calls that are no long in progress or to only run it as a post call script on the call.
Below is the code:
