Interesting question. I actually have some code that will almost do this sitting in a branch. The code actually started out as a joke, but I think I could make it more generic to where it could be useful. Right now, I have two modules - res_monkeys and app_monkeys. If you load res_monkeys on a system, it will pick a random active channel on the system once per minute and play the "tt-weasels" file to them. This would be a nice module to load on April 1st. :) app_monkeys gives you a dialplan application called Monkeys(). Once you run this on a channel, it will hear the "tt-weasels" file once a minute for the rest of its lifetime in the system, while executing other applications. I could probably make app_monkeys more generic so that you can specify a frequency and which sound file to play. The one thing you can't do with it is turn this periodic announcement back off. I think I could add it, though ... Anyway, this would only be for 1.6 unless enough people think its useful. Then, I might maintain an unofficial backport to 1.4. -- Russell Bryant Software Engineer Digium, Inc. _______________________________________________ --Bandwidth and Colocation Provided by http://www.api-digital.com-- asterisk-users mailing list To UNSUBSCRIBE or update options visit: http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users
