Hi,

Here's a version I modified which grabs either a development or stable
verision, and does a backup before updating from CVS. It also asks for
addon's and cc.

Leif Madsen did the original development and Mark released it.

My changes does the minimum changes to previous version, to get what I need.
It does the same version checking as the Make script uses should .version
file not exist.

It runs well for me.

Hi,

I would like to be able to notify users about new voicemail messages
through the SMS system.  I added a system command in my extensions.conf
file that sends a SMS message to the user. I am using a sendSMP.pl script
that I downloaded from the web.
It works fine when executed separately, but if executed within asterisk it
is not working. This is a part of my context:

exten => 0,1,Playback(pls-wait-connect-call)
exten => 0,2,SetCallerID(17734660101)
exten => 0,3,SetCIDName(Operator)
exten => 0,4,SetMusicOnHold(default)
exten => 0,5,Dial(SIP/17083519199@broadvoice,20,m)
exten => 0,6,Wait(1);
exten => 0,7,Playback(im-sorry)
exten => 0,8,Playback(nbdy-avail-to-take-call)
exten => 0,9,Playback(pls-lv-msg-will-contact)
exten => 0,10,voicemail,s9999
exten => 0,11,System("/scripts/sendSMS.pl -r 17083519199 -p TMOBILE -s
operator -m ${CALLERID}")
exten => 0,12,Hangup

and this is the error:

 -- Executing System("SIP/192.168.0.3-0891abc8",
""/scripts/sendSMS.pl -r
17083519199 -p TMOBILE -s operator -m "Bartosz Wegrzyn"
<7734660101>"")
in new stack
/bin/sh: line 1: /scripts/sendSMS.pl -r 17083519199 -p TMOBILE -s operator
-m Bartosz: No such file or directory

The script is not working because of the "<>" characters in
caller ID.
Is there any way to change that so asterisk will pass the variables
without ""<> characters.

Or do you know any other way to send SMS messages.
I tried to create the separate executable file with the command to send
sms message, but then I dont have a caller ID. Is there any way that I
could pass the $CALLERID variable to my script.
Also, the command that I execute is before the asterisk goes to the
voicemail system.  This is bad because if caller dont leave a message
asterisk will send a SMS message.
How can I check if the caller leave the message and the execute the script?

Thanks

Bart
