lo there, i am brand new to asterisk. i have managed to get it installed and running, made a basic dial plan, etc... But what i really need to do run it, or initiate phone calls from python ( or maybe ruby ) i looked at pyst and py-aster but the docs seem really scarce. our company monitors field equipment. when the status of said equipment changes, we send our customer a page. We also track it on a website for them. But now we want to add IVR. So i need to know a good place to start to be able to send out a phone call with a pre-recorded message when an event happens. So the pointer i need is... what would be a good way to tell asterisk to make a phone call from outside of asterisk. I would welcome any links to any docs, tutorials, etc... thanks all, sk

Asterisk will take over from there and place the call. See: http://www.voip-info.org/tiki-index.php?page=Asterisk+auto-dial+out Make sure you create the file elsewhere and move it into the directory, and that it is readable by asterisk. Luki
