Re: [asterisk-users] How often to restart Asterisk...
I've actually had an AGI script that Asterisk never closed the fork for. It was testing a particular feature so it was pretty badly written. Ended up consuming a lot of resources. No idea why Asterisk hated that script, though. Failed to kill it every time. But would continue on the dial plan after I sent back the data it needed and supposedly ended the program.

Re: [asterisk-users] Queue_log into MySQL - best practices

Re: [asterisk-users] Managing complex setups with Asterisk
What about just setting up a database which stores your data however you want then generate static files from that data or creating views for realtime (where appropriate)?

My systems are already managed automatically, thankfully no longer with Puppet. ;) I am only talking about configuration of Asterisk, whether in /etc/asterisk or some sensible external data source. My point of pain is the complexity due to a couple of special cases, e.g. - Roaming users, i.e. no 1:n relation between sites and users; - Multiple devices per user (some want them all to ring, some want individual extensions but shared voicemail, …) - Keeping track of the mappings between incoming calls (from SIP providers) and extensions to ring (using incoming contexts and extension groups for that) - Keeping track of which extension uses which outgoing trunk - … With a logical naming scheme, a policy and include files, this is all working. But it's very error-prone and there is a bit of redundancy in the information, so I was wondering if there wasn't a better way. Either way, don't manually build your 6th machine. Start from fresh using some sort of automated tool (chef / puppet). This will help you get on the right path.

Re: [asterisk-users] MySQL InnoDB or MyISAM for CDR
Very good point. For revenue critical data like CDRs, being ACID compliant is important. MyISAM is compliant. And like InnoDB, can have the features making it compliant turned off.

Re: [asterisk-users] Peculiar problem with failover provision.
Why not use the DIALSTATUS channel variable to determine if a fail over is necessary? - Logan On Sep 24, 2012 6:00 AM, Thomas Kenyon dig...@sanguinarius.co.uk wrote: I have noticed a peculiar problem recently with the way that the failover operates in my dialplan.

Re: [asterisk-users] Peculiar problem with failover provision.
I think a lot of people leave it out in examples for simplicity's sake. It doesn't instil proper practices in folks' heads. - Logan On Sep 24, 2012 12:06 PM, Eric Wieling ewiel...@nyigc.com wrote: You are doing it wrong. I know 50 bazillion Asterisk dialplan examples on the internet do it the same way. It is still wrong. When you do a Dial on the dialplan you need check the value of DIALSTATUS or HANGUPCAUSE before dialing again. Both variables will give you some indication of why the first call ended. Then your dialplan logic can decide how to proceed. -Original Message- From: asterisk-users-boun...@lists.digium.com [mailto: asterisk-users-boun...@lists.digium.com] On Behalf Of Thomas Kenyon Sent: Monday, September 24, 2012 7:00 AM To: asterisk-users@lists.digium.com Subject: [asterisk-users] Peculiar problem with failover provision.

Re: [asterisk-users] How to get SIP Response Code and use it to change destination.
If you're using below 1.8, there isn't a way. The DIALSTATUS channel variable can give you a little, but not with those response codes. However, if you're using 1.8, there's some hope: you can use ${HASH(SIP_CAUSE,channel)} (where channel is the destination channel, not source) to read the SIP response code. For my setup, I have an OpenSIPS sever that handles the lower level logic such as failure routes. I find it a lot amiable to deal with than Asterisk for that sort of thing. - Logan On Sep 23, 2012 5:17 PM, Jarek Jarzebowski jarek.jarzebow...@gmail.com wrote: Hello, I need to do such a simple thing: 1.

Re: [asterisk-users] accept email and make phone call?
If you're using sendmail and receive e-mail directly to your box, you could create a user and add a .forward file that pipes the e-mail to a script which access the Asterisk Manager interface or something of the like. There's lots of tutorials on both. Good luck!
