That's exactly what I did.
It's just a humble little shell script, not much brains to it:
#!/bin/bash
#just handling all the stuff that Asterisk sends but not really doing
anything with it
while read -e ARG && [ "$ARG" ] ; do
array=(` echo $ARG | sed -e 's/://'`)
export ${array[0]}=${array[1]}
done
#here's the meat of the script
filecount=0
for i in `ls -1t /home/asterisk/ira/incidents/$1*.wav`
do
echo "EXEC PLAYBACK ${i}" | sed s:\.wav:\ \'\':
echo "EXEC WAIT 1"
((filecount++))
done
echo "DATABASE PUT IRA $1/RECORDCOUNT $filecount"
So AGI seems to do the job for me. Not sure if this is optomized for speed
or whatever, but it's good enough for now.
Thanks,
Jim
