asterisk users - May 2005 - New script: /usr/bin/asteriskdial + Kontact

Hey all -

Attached is quick perl script i whipped together this morning to dial from 
Kontact (well, KAddressBook). You'll need Net::Telnet (perl -MCPAN -e 
'install Net::Telnet') for it to work. You'll also need to make sure
you've
got a valid user/secret in /etc/asterisk/manager.conf on your * server for 
this to work. 

Usage:

/usr/bin/asteriskdial --from <valid_asterisk_channel>  --to "%N"

...assuming you've set the defaults correctly for your system in the script.

To use, in Kontact, goto your contacts, click Settings, click Configure 
KAddressBook, goto the General Tab, and in the 'Script-Hooks' section in
the
'Phone' box, put '/usr/bin/asteriskdial --from <my_channel> 
--to "%N"'

KDE (well, kaddressbook) will then allow you to click on numbers in your 
contacts and substitute the %N for the number clicked.

Assuming you've chmod'ed +x the script and set the server, user, and
secret
correctly, when you click on a contact's number, your phone will ring.

Any questions, let me know!

Cheers!
