asterisk users - Nov 2006 - FREE DOWNLOAD - PRI / T1 Circuit monitoring

I have release my routines for PRI circuit monitoring. You, your client or
anyone can be notified by phone, beeper, email or txtmsg that your circuit
is down.  If Asterisk crashes due to an oscillating circuit (as I have found
it sometimes does), sendmail is usually intact and email notification and
txt messages will usually get through. If the client has backup lines, and
Asterisk remains up, calls can be made supplying all the information
necessary to initiate a support call to the carrier, including pre dialing
the support company for you or the client.

These routines depend on a cron job checking the PRI status in Asterisk's
database.  If the database is not available, a down condition is executed.
Since the database in Asterisk is used, simple modification of these
routines will allow you to monitor any device and execute any type of notice
you require (memory low, heavy usage...)

I have not created my final web site, but rather put together a quick one
which will contain more free Asterisk software and tips as time permits.

Thanks for such a useful tool and giving it away. I will try it out and 
give you feedback.

Thanks,

For those who didn't notice it, this is a glorified 'asterisk -rx
"show
span 1"' script.

Suggestions:

* Parse zapata.conf to check which spans are configured
* What happens if 'asterisk -rx' itself times out?
