asterisk users - Feb 2007 - How to repeat pri show span and zap show channel commands

Hi,

For debugging purpose, it might be useful to repeat every 30s or so, pri
show span and zap show channel commands have the results merged with
/var/log/asterisk/full log file?

Any better idea than running an dedicated shell script with a "asterisk -rx
pri show span 1" line ?

Regards

Log to syslog (see the sample logger.conf), and run a cron script that 
does that every minute.

Note: this is expected to generate a huge log file.

Here is my pipeast script:

(while read line; do
  echo -n "$line"   # trim the ending newline
  sleep 0.001       # generate different write(2)-s
done) | socat - /var/run/asterisk/asterisk.ctl

You can pipe whatever you want to that. e.g:

while true; do
  echo pri show span 1
  sleep 30
done | pipeast

Note: socat is available as a debian package:
http://packages.debian.org/socat .
