It sounds like this is of some value to you, and I expect it would be useful to others, as well. So there is a high incentive for someone to code it - maybe you! :-) Another solution, though I don't think it does what you want, would be to use the "#exec" command in your configuration files, which then calls a script to build the config file. Honestly, I don't know if #exec gets called every time that the dialplan is reloaded - I'd assume the answer to this is "yes" but I can't test - see PPS below. PS: Remember to enable #exec mode in /etc/asterisk/asterisk.conf - it is disabled by default. PPS: It seems that #exec is broken in SVN-TRUNK.

[asterisk-users] chan_sip and database integration
Hi! I tried to understand how chan_sip can be configured by means of a database. I found these 2 different approaches (please correct me if I am wrong): static configuration: the sip.conf file is mapped to a database table. The table contains one line for each line in sip.conf. realtime configuration: the peers/users are stored in the database using a single line for each peer/user. "Static" does not eases provisioning as configuring a SIP peer/user using this approach is really complicated - it is just a method to store .conf files in database. "realtime" really eases provisioning of SIP peers/users. You only have to insert/update/delete a single line. But functionality is different - there are limitations as these objects are not stored in memory (can be cached), for example device status information. What I am looking for is a method to provision peers/users with a single line in the database, but without limitations. Thus, the peers need not to be realtime but are loaded on "sip reload". So is there a possiblity to have static peer/users configuration using a nice and easy way? thanks klaus ___ -- 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
