Hi all
I am looking forward to move from asterisk to kamailio, So may be asking
some unusual questions
My current system is working in such a way that
Whenever a call arrives at asterisk i call perl script by AGI and then in
that perl script i check customer status, billing, extension routing,
updating cdr to my database and many more other operations.
The billing which i am doing is different than the one in siremes and i dont
want to go for GUI as well
So I am looking for a solution similar to AGi.
Please direct me to the right path.
thanks
Sameer.

Sameer,
I suppose the Kamailio facility most analogical to your current setup
would be the Perl module:
http://www.kamailio.org/docs/modules/3.1.x/modules_k/perl.html
Although, you should beware that no call control can be delegated to
such a script, just some simple logic.
This doesn't mean that a Perl script is necessarily the best way to do
what you want, especially because its execution will block one of
Kamailio's relatively few SIP worker threads until it returns. You
may want to consider learning the route script API more in-depth and
writing your billing logic in the route script, or deputising it into
a database-side stored procedure.
Thanks,
-- Alex

Sameer,
Kamailio is not a replacement for Asterisk. We, and many others on
this list, use Kamilio+Asterisk+AGI to accomplish what we want.

In some cases, it can be, depending on what you're doing with Asterisk
to begin with. Pure call routing without any of the interactivity
that Asterisk introduces is a valid application for a solitary
Kamailio setup. But you're right, many real-world call transit
applications can't get by on Kamailio alone.

It is possible to only setup Kamailio to do far end nat-traversal
without proxying RTP. So, depending on the 'world' in question a B2BUA
/ Asterisk might not be absolutely required.
I have a simple configuration on my blog: http://bit.ly/f8X9SN
Comments and/or improvements are absolutely welcome!

Alex,
Thanks for your response
perl is not the only option for me can go with php as well i saw a module
named xhttp, can it fulfill my requirements ?
and by route script API, do you mean
http://kamailio.org/docs/modules/3.1.x/modules/app_lua.html?
Mark,
Thanks to you too.
May it would not be an alternate to asterisk for most of the people but for
me, i think it would be.
As my goal is just to exchange sip messages while being in the media and not
being in the media, both conditions.

Kamailio and Asterisk are not in the least bit 'replacements' for each
other. Kamailio is a SIP Proxy. Asterisk is a hybrid B2BUA/App
Server/Gateway creation.
Also, when you say AGI and based on the nature of your question itself,
I fear you are not running FastAGI. You should be!
Given a proper FastAGI enabled application, one could also add in an
additional remote access method (xml-rpc? XMPP? etc) that Kamailio could
also utilize as necessary.
