asterisk users - Feb 2006 - Possible for Asterisk to output CLID to invoke3rdparty app?

Or you could just use "System" and do it the easy way!  AGI is better
suited for more complicated scripting.  In any case, check out the TFOT
book - you'll like it.

Seri,

 

I think you might just need to find the right variable and pass it to
your script.  Also, you'll probably need to read up on AGI - I'm
assuming that's how you would launch your Perl scripts.  Here's the list
of variables on the wiki:

 

http://www.voip-info.org/wiki-Asterisk+variables

 

Most likely you're looking for the variable referred to as
${CALLERID(num)}

 

If you haven't already done so, you might check out the O'Reilly book:
Asterisk - The Future Of Telephony, or TFOT for short.  It has good
information for beginners, including some basics on getting up and
running with AGI.

 

Try this: http://www.speakup.nl/en/opensource/asterisktfot/

The AGI stuff is in chapter 9.  Definitely read the first few pages - it
will help you understand how Asterisk communicates with Perl (or pretty
much any other programming language/shell script) using STDIN, STDOUT,
and STDERR.

 

Also, don't forget this obvious one:
http://www.voip-info.org/wiki-Asterisk+AGI

 

Happy programming!  Oh, and welcome the wild and crazy (but VERY cool)
world of Asterisk!

3rdparty app?

 

Hi all, please forgive me relative lack of knowledge with Asterisk, but
I've not played with PBX systems for a while and I'm just re-finding my
feet.

I've set up my first Asterisk server, I have it configured with a Digium
X100P Analogue pots board, I have my Called ID working and everything is
hunky dorey with the server itself.

 

But... (and there's always a but) I want to pass inbound CLID
information out from Asterisk to other applications for display. Is
there an easy way to do this? I have some simple command line perl
scripts that will take a number as an argument when called and then do
what I want with them (display the caller information on my Squeezebox)
but after trawling documentation and mailing lists I can't find any way
of doing this.

 

I'm probably missing something simple, but any pointers would be a great
help.

 

TIA

 

Seri
