asterisk users - Jun 2005 - voicemail check for busy message

Is there a way to check to see if a user has recorded a busy message?  If
they haven't I would prefer to send them to "u" and play their
unavailable
greeting.   I know I can send them to "u" in both cases, but I would
like to
send them to "b" if a recorded busy greeting exists.

 

Thanks!

How about the System() command?  I haven't tried it but I wonder if
something like this would work.
 
Exten => 1234,1,System(/usr/bin/head
/var/spool/asterisk/vm/default/${EXTEN}/INBOX/busy.gsm)
Exten => 1234,2,Voicemail(u${EXTEN})
Exten => 1234,102,Voicemail(b${EXTEN})
 
 
As I understand it, System() will return -1 on errors (such as FILE NOT
FOUND) and continue to priority n+101.  I'm not sure if that means -1 if
the program spits out an error, or if RUNNING the program itself is
unsuccessful.   Might be that it returns 0 even if the file doesn't
exist, because as in my example, the program /usr/bin/head DOES exist.
 
Hey, if it works, post it!
