asterisk users - Apr 2010 - spool directories and filename

Hi,

Is it possible to configure Asterisk to fetch for files from the spool directory
in different directories? For example, fetch voicemail files in /abc/voicemail
and call files in /cde/outgoing ?. And is it possible to configure the filename
that Asterisk gives to files, like voicemail files?

Thanks,

Ricardo

Read up on asterisk.conf (usually located at /etc/asterisk/). In 
particular, see astspooldir.

A casual peek of the 1.2 sources looks like both features (pbx_spool.c and 
app_voicemail.c) use astspooldir as the file path.

For changing the voicemail filenames, the 1.2 app_voicemail.c sources have 
this snippet:

static int make_file(char *dest, int len, char *dir, int num)
{
         return snprintf(dest, len, "%s/msg%04d", dir, num);
}

which means you will probably have to hack it up a bit.

Hi. Thanks for the reply.  Regarding filenames, thanks for the help.

On asterisk.conf it is only possible to specify which directory is going to be
used to store voicemail, call files, etc (astspooldir). What I would like to
know is how to have some directories of the spool in one path and other
directories of the spool on other path (ex: voicemail directory on
/var/spool/asterisk/voicemail and outgoing in /example/callfiles/ )

Once again thanks for the reply,

Ricardo
