[asterisk-users] extensions.conf -- what to do when command throws errors?

2009-01-20 Thread Ken D'Ambrosio
Hi, all. I've got app_rxfax going and nicely receiving a fax, which I then throw to a script, and have it convert it to a PDF and mail it. Works great... a lot of the time. But a fair bit of the time, rxfax throws errors, and extensions.conf seems never to invoke my script. Here are the

[asterisk-users] Dumb question: retrieve values from OS-level commands?

2009-01-22 Thread Ken D'Ambrosio
Hi, all. I want to execute a script, and return the value of said (Python) script to the dialplan. I thought something like exten = 1,1,Set(MyWorkingDir=System(/bin/pwd)) might work, but apparently not. I also looked into AGI stuff, but that doesn't quite seem to be the right approach.

Hey, all. I was going through a make configure on my Asterisk 1.4.23 Ubuntu box, and noticed something I'd forgotten: Asterisk now supports IMAP_STORAGE. However, when I highlight it, it tells me that there's an unmet dependency, presumably for imap_tk. I've apt-get installed everything I can

Hey, all. I was just wondering if there were any tools/utilities/what-have-you out there that would allow a user to click on a contact in Outlook, and have their phone dial it? (Or, I guess, have Asterisk dial both their phone and the destination number, and put the two into a conference.)

Hi, all. I've got an old Telrad PBX with an Emagen(?) voicemail box. The VM box, itself, is beginning to show its age. Big-time. We're thinking it might be time to look for a replacement. I'd love to install Asterisk with an FXO card or something, but I don't think it supports whatever

Make a call to VM (has to go out on the port you have the handset plugged into), answer it and listen. If you hear a bunch of DTMF then you are golden. Sounds like good stuff, but my most substantial concerns involved things like MWI: is asterisk able to push that back to the PBX? --
