Re: [asterisk-users] Question regarding keywords in sip.conf/users.conf
Unfortunately RealTime isn't going to be an option - it's another level of configuration I want to avoid, but more importantly since I'm planning on being able to run these scripts on an Astlinux install, there won't always be a MySQL database available. If worst comes to worst, and the extra configuration included in sip.conf becomes a problem, I'll move it to another text-based config file - not my preferred option (since I'd like to keep everything close-to-hand) but not a major problem since I'm likely to need a separate config file for global configuration options anyway.

You could still store them in sip.conf, just make each line a comment. e.g.: ;[myentry]keyword=value ;[myentry]keyword=value You could then search for ;[myentry] for your keywords and strip them off when you write out the real entries.

Re: [asterisk-users] Question regarding keywords in sip.conf/users.conf
Historically Asterisk's config file parser ignored unknown keywords. This is useful for exactly the things you are trying to do. I hope 1.6 did not remove this feature. Rob Hillis wrote: Barry L.

[asterisk-users] Question regarding keywords in sip.conf/users.conf
Hi guys, I'm about to embark on a small (undoubtedly to get much larger) project to write a set of scripts to handle provisioning of phones - Snom to begin with, possibly with others (most likely Polycom and Linksys) to follow later. Since I want this script to handle *all* aspects of phone provisioning (such as BLF buttons and so on) I need a place to store data. My preference is to keep all phone related configuration in the one place - such as sip.conf or users.conf. How would having additional keywords (most likely with a prefix of some type to reduce the likelihood of conflicts with real keywords) in Asterisk's .conf files affect Asterisk? I would expect that Asterisk should ignore unknown keywords, but I'd rather check on this with those in the know first.
