asterisk users - May 2009 - New tutorial: storing audio recordings per day

Hi everyone,
after doing the same thing multiple times and struggling to remember how it
was done, I have prepared a small tutorial that explains how to save
monitored files in different folders per day. This is quite useful
becausethe resultingfile system is way more manageable than having maybe
100,000 files all saved in the same folder.
You can find the tutorial here:

As always, comments and suggestions are welcome.
l.
PS. I am also working on some scripts to "normalize" existing
recordings
all-in-one-directory... if anybody is interested, please contact me.

Actually You don't have to create folders in advance, as Asterisk will
automatically create them when needed. Just make sure that Asterisk
process is owner of parent directory.


Set(__call_day=${STRFTIME(|${TIMEZONE}|%Y/%m/%d)});
Set(MONITOR_FILENAME=${MONITOR_DIR}/${call_day}/call-${UNIQUEID});
Monitor(ulaw,${MONITOR_FILENAME},b);
