To do something similar, I created a dialplan extension that - if
dialled - creates a file on the server. If dialled again, it removes the
file again.
Then, in the context of the phone I check for existence of that file and
if it exists I play a busy signal and hangup. (Of course, unless the
extension to re-enable it is dialled ;) ).
Additionally, I ask the user for a password to lock/unlock it.
This is a good use for the AstDB
Sure is, but files in the filesystem are easier to process from
external (non-asterisk) programs. In my case, I have a web interface
that locks/unlocks phones too.
I find it most convenient to use 'ls' to look up the current status of
stuff.
asterisk -rx could also be used. Or a phone menu. Problems with a phone
menu: how can you tell the status?
asterisk -rx requires access to the asterisk console which throws its
own bunch of problems with permissions and scalability. I'd then prefer
to code it through the manager interface but that seems like a terrible
overkill here ;)
How would you use a phone menu for that? That sounds interesting. Our
users here like doing phonestuff on their phones rather than on websites
etc.

am I missing something important over here??
DB, more specificaly, having ODBCput and ODBCget operations solve all
these issues, dont they.
read the post abt "Stopping putgoing calls after working hours" (well..
the subject says so!! )
have your astdb in sql. simple.
create extensions to lock/unlock phones or even check status using astdb
in sql.
very easy to add/view/modify from a webpage too.
or... again.. am i missing something over here?
