[asterisk-users] Limit calls when using autodial
Is there a way to limit outbound calls when feeding files to the outgoing directory in asterisk? I several thousand files i need to feed asterisk, hoping to copy it to the outgoing directory all at 1 time. ___ -- 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

I think the only way is managing the number of files in the outbound directory http://www.voip-info.org/tiki-index.php?page=Asterisk+auto-dial+out Tong wrote: Is there a way to limit outbound calls when feeding files to the outgoing directory in asterisk?

Yes, Create them with a future time and date and they will only be acted upon when the proper time comes.

That might work. I'll give that a shot. Doug Lytle [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Tong wrote: Is there a way to limit outbound calls when feeding files to the outgoing directory in asterisk?

And generally, you need to create them on the same filesystem, because the method used for reading files out of that directory is especially aggressive. If you copy cross-filesystems, the date/time is the last thing copied, which could happen too late. Generally, it's a good idea to create files in /var/tmp, then move them to the /var/spool/asterisk/outgoing directory, since the move occurs in a single step. -- Tilghman ___ -- 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

Doug -- There was a similar post recently and I wonder if using future time stamps would work well although I guess it depends on what you're doing specifically. In other words, if all you're doing is calling a number and playing a pre-recorded message for instance, that may be doable as you could at least estimate the average time it takes to dial and complete one of those calls and create your originate files at x intervals in timestamps. Otherwise for something more complex where the amount of time each call can take varies much, I would see some kind of queuing system being useful where the calls are tracked and originate files are produced as (specified) resources allow. -- Warm Regards, Lee Everything I needed to learn in life, I learned selling encyclopedias door to door. ___ -- 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
