asterisk users - Aug 2009 - Execute some kind of script when something happens with Asterisk

Would it be possible to execute some kind of script when for example
Asterisk restarts... or stops... ?

How can one read the status of Asterisk so that when the service is
stopped I could be notified by mail, by text message,... ?

I don't know how to read the status of Asterisk (or the change of
status) in a bash-script.

Thanks for the reply !

Kind regards,
Jonas.

Hi,

well there are differnt ways to do it. It depends on what you want.
The start-stop scripts in /etc/init.d/ are looking for a pid file, so
they can figure out if the server is running. You can change the
script to get a message if the server is going up or down by the
script.

If you want that the server is working correctly you need more. You
need a second system and write an end-to-end test. Than you can send
out an email (or a sms) if it fails. You can check it every 30s.

The first way is easier, but you won't figure out if the server hangs.

Maybe this is also interesting
