Thanks for that, coming from a C++ background it's a refreshing change to be looking at something that seems logical and efficient.
I'd briefly looked at the event socket and wondered if that was the way to go. I presume that there's some sort of event generation that can trigger and external process as well somewhere, though all I need to do is update mysql (hopefully using some sort of pooled connection) I'm not using a TDM card, I have a direct interconnect with the PSTN breakout provider with 1,500 channels available to me. I'm finding Asterisk proving to be less than stable at high call volumes and load values spike at more than 100 calls with billing/accounting in place, hence my interest in FS. The only thing that's concerning me is XML at the moment. Lots of code and very wordy. I'm sure I'll appreciate why XML given time Regards, ________________________________ From: freeswitch-users-boun...@lists.freeswitch.org [mailto:freeswitch-users-boun...@lists.freeswitch.org] On Behalf Of Michael S Collins Sent: 03 February 2009 01:17 To: freeswitch-users@lists.freeswitch.org Subject: Re: [Freeswitch-users] Generating calls from external source Nik, Welcome to FreeSWITCH! The short answer is "yes, FS can do that." The first thing that you should do is unlearn "the Asterisk way" of thinking. Usually there is an elegant way of doing things in FS that wasn't possible in Ast. I would recommend that you start by looking at the event socket, which is somewhat analogous to the AMI only cooler. :) I have personally done something similar to this using the event socket and a Perl script. The key is to learn the syntax of the originate command. (definitely hit the wiki and IRC channel) Are you using TDM cards for this? Just curious. -MC (IRC nick: mercutioviz) Sent from my iPhone On Feb 2, 2009, at 3:35 PM, "Nik Middleton" <nik.middle...@noblesolutions.co.uk> wrote: Hi Guys, As a long time Asterisk user, I'm looking into freeswitch as an alternative mainly due to (list multiple reasons here) Can anyone give me a pointer as to how I would achieve the following? I need to replicate an emergency broadcast system currently running under Asterisk. At the moment, I run through a Mysql database and using the manager API, issues an Originate command to dial a number. When the call is answered, a message is played, and the recipient has the option of hitting a digit to confirm receipt. I then call an AGI script to update the database. Is this fairly easy to do in Freeswitch? Not looking for code, just some pointers as to what's available to do the above / Regards, _______________________________________________ Freeswitch-users mailing list Freeswitch-users@lists.freeswitch.org http://lists.freeswitch.org/mailman/listinfo/freeswitch-users UNSUBSCRIBE: <http://lists.freeswitch.org/mailman/options/freeswitch-users> http://lists.freeswitch.org/mailman/options/freeswitch-users http://www.freeswitch.org
