asterisk users - Sep 2005 - Easier way for end user to change main greeting?

Hi,

Has someone figured out how to change the main
autoattendant message easily?

Right now, you call *77 and record the message.
Then you have to get into the Unix/Linux command
line to get that message over to where it will
be used.  Is there a simpler way?

Thanks for your help.

You could setup a dial plan to save the sould file directly to your
main menu.  Maybe something like this:

exten => *11,1,Play(record_greeting)
exten => *11,2,Record(/path-to-asterisk-sound-files/your-main-menu:gsm)
exten => *11,3,Play(recording_finished)

Now I'm assuming you have recorded the record_greeting and
recording_finished sounds files.  Hope this helps.

Scott.
