(sent to the list because it's pertinent) -------------------------------------------------------- Bilal,
anything can be a unix variable, it doesn't matter what it's called. #!/bin/bash export THREE=3 export FIVE=5 ((EIGHT=$THREE+$FIVE)) echo $EIGHT THREE, FIVE, and EIGHT are all just variables, like in programming. It just so happens that if you create one called ASTERISK_PROMPT, asterisk will use it. You would probably put this in your startup script, for example /etc/rc.d/rc.local or /etc/rc.local down near the bottom you could put export ASTERISK_PROMPT="new prompt " and when you run asterisk, it will use this new prompt in the CLI. bilal ghayyad wrote: > Dear Mojo; > > Where we configure this UNIX environment that can let > us able to write the command export ASTERISK_PROMPT > (for example, how can we know that if we typed export > CISCO_PROMPT then it will not work we CISCO_PROMPT is > not UNIX variable)? > > Regards > Bilal > --- "Mojo with Horan & Company, LLC" > <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > >> You seemed to be unclear about unix variables: >> >> The question is: what is the ASTERISK_PROMPT >> UNIX >> >> environment variable and where I can access it >> to >> >> change it? >> >> the command: >> export ASTERISK_PROMPT=.... >> will let you change it, like you asked >> for example, if your asterisk server is named pbx, >> you could get your >> default prompt back with: >> >> export ASTERISK_PROMPT="pbx*CLI >" >> or you could play around: >> export ASTERISK_PROMPT="Enter your command to the >> Asterisk CLI >" >> >> Sorry if this is unclear! >> >> Mojo >> >> bilal ghayyad wrote: >>> Dear Mojo; >>> >>> Thanks for your help. >>> >>> Why you said export ASTERISK_PROMPT="new prompt >>> "? >>> >>> Regards >>> Bilal >>> >>> >>> I'm not sure what features/variables you can use, >> or >>> where to find >>> information about that, but what this basically >> means >>> is you can change >>> >>> your CLI prompt by this: >>> >>> export ASTERISK_PROMPT="new prompt >" >>> >>> then, what you access the CLI, instead of: >>> >>> hostname*CLI> >>> you get >>> new prompt > >>> >>> Moj >>> >>> bilal ghayyad wrote: >>>> Hi List; >>>> >>>> I read the following sentence: >>>> >>>> "The CLI prompt is set with the ASTERISK_PROMPT >> UNIX >>>> environment variable" >>>> >>>> In the following link: >>>> >>>> http://www.voip-info.org/wiki/index.php >>>> page=Asterisk+CLI+prompt >>>> >>>> The question is: what is the ASTERISK_PROMPT UNIX >>>> environment variable and where I can access it to >>>> change it?
