asterisk users - Jan 2009 - How to elegantly set DEVSTATE values after restarting

Hi,

Whenever Asterisk restarts, some values such as DEVSTATE ones, should be
reset.
How would you proceed to have those settings done anytime Asterisk restarts
?

I was thinking of using #exec statement in appropriate .conf file.
Ant better idea ?

IMO this would be elegant, but others probably view it as a hack.  (That's
ok; 30 years ago I was a hacker, now I'm just a hack).  

If you are starting asterisk as a service, simply create a call file to
reset the DEVSTATE values and copy it when starting asterisk. 

I've got a call file that I use to let me know my asterisk has restarted.

 

** /etc/init.d/asterisk **

#!/bin/sh

### BEGIN INIT INFO

# Provides: asterisk

# Required-Start: $network

# Required-Stop: $network

# Default-Start: 2 3 5

# Description: start asterisk server

### END INIT INFO

 

case "$1" in

'start')

        /sbin/ztcfg -vv &

        /bin/sleep 5

        /sbin/ztcfg -vv &

        /bin/sleep 5

        /bin/cp /etc/asterisk/astup.call /var/spool/asterisk/outgoing &

        cd /etc/asterisk

        /usr/sbin/asterisk -g &

        ;;

'stop')

        /usr/sbin/asterisk -rx "stop now"

        ;;

*)

        echo "Usage: $0 { start | stop }"

        ;;

esac

exit 0

 

** /etc/asterisk/astup.call

Channel: Zap/g1/wwXXXXXXX

CallerID: SIP/YYY

MaxRetries: 1

WaitTime: 60

retryTime: 5

Application: background

Data: /var/lib/asterisk/sounds/record/systemup

Sounds racy. #exec is called whenever configuration is parsed (on reload
as well). It is also called before the configuration is actually parsed,
and thus you can't rely on devices to exist.

Hi,

I am using asterisk version 1.4.22.1 on a centos 5.2 machine.
Is there any way to run a script somebody puts the call on/off hold ? The script
must be run both on hold and off hold.

Best ragards.
