Does anyone know how a program, script or shell user can best determine whether the machine is running on bare metal or is a VMware guest? Cheers Tony -- Tony Mountifield Work: tony at softins.co.uk - http://www.softins.co.uk Play: tony at mountifield.org - http://tony.mountifield.org

Has anyone else experienced a problem with the LED for span 1 on a TE410P or TE405P? I had a TE410P on which the span 1 LED would not light red, but once the span was connected, it did correctly light green. I RMAed the board to our UK distrbutor and received a replacement. However, the replacement board displayed the same problem! Wondering if it was related to the computer I was putting it

I want to use fail2ban on CentOS 6 to monitor Apache with the standard default logfile format ("combined"). Has anyone here succeeded in doing so? The format has the IP at the start of the line, followed by two dashes (if no authentication) and THEN the timestamp. What I've read on the fail2ban wiki seems to say that the timestamp must ALWAYS be at the start of the line, followed by

Has anyone here done any work on clustering Meetme conferences over multiple Asterisk boxes? The scenario I am thinking of is where there are two or more boxes connected to a set of PRIs that all answer to the same PSTN number, and where it's not possible to know in advance on which box a call would arrive. So it would be possible to have some calls on one box and some on another, that should

I have been writing a lot of AGI programs in C with good success. I would like somehow to have an AGI program continue in the background while the pbx execution returns to the dialplan and continues. Is this possible? I was thinking that perhaps I could fork or create another thread within the AGI prog. The reason I want to do so is in order to monitor external information (e.g. credit limit and

[apologies if this comes through twice - the original doesn't seem to have shown up even after 16 hours] In the handling of agents, when using AgentCallbackLogin, a call placed to an agent needs to be accepted by the agent pressing the '#' key. I'm trying to replicate that kind of operation in a non-agent scenario: I want to call Dial() from my dialplan, play an announcement to

I'm just setting up a SuperMicro system which has twin SATA disks on an Intel IHC7 RAID-capable controller. The system came with Fedora 5 pre-installed, which I will be removing and replacing with CentOS 4.5. But before doing so, I've been having a look at how the original vendor configured it. When I've built systems previously, I've disabled any RAID controller and used kernel

I have an Asterisk system running on T1 PRI trunks using a TE405P. It seems to be running ok, but one thing puzzles me. Every so often I get a raft of messages like this: -- B-channel 0/1 successfully restarted on span 1 -- B-channel 0/2 successfully restarted on span 1 ....... -- B-channel 0/22 successfully restarted on span 1 -- B-channel 0/23 successfully restarted on span 1 I could

Hi, I have a project coming up which will need to interface Asterisk to E1 trunks in the UK. I have a couple of questions which I hope someone can answer, or give me some pointers: 1. If I want two E1 trunks, is there anything to choose, performance-wise, between using two ports on a single TE405P, and using two E100P cards? 2. How can I test the E1 operation in the lab, which doesn't

I am seeing some curious behaviour with a 1.2.32 system, which I do not understand and so can't work out how to fix it. I have a PRI routed to context default. Here is the complete default context: [default] exten => _9X.,1,Dial(IAX2/m1peer/${EXTEN:1}) exten => _20XX,1,Dial(IAX2/sipeer/${EXTEN}) exten => _X.,1,Dial(IAX2/m1peer/${EXTEN}) exten =>

I have a small number of boxes in different locations, and currently have a fairly crude cron job running on each, which does a ping of one or more of the other boxes, and if the ping fails, it emails me to say the other box might be down. It then emails me again the next time the other box appears to be up. Of course, this can't distinguish between the remote box really being down and there

I'm not sure if this is a -users or a -dev question, since the answer probably comes down to something in the code. I'm running the latest CVS-STABLE, and am subscribed to PSTN service using IAX2 via Voiptalk in the UK. I've just been alerted by a customer that the sending of DTMF from my asterisk box to a remote PSTN user doesn't work, although it used to. To test it, I have

So, I've just gone through a enw CentOS 4.4 install. I selected the "Custom" installation type, and then in the part for selecting which packages to install, I specifically did NOT select X, Gnome or KDE, nor any of the graphical tools. However, when it finished installing and rebooted, I still ended up with X installed, a graphical login screen and default run level of 5. Does

Does anyone here know anything about GEN-GEN analogue circuits, also known as Manual Ring-Down (MRD)? Apparently they are widely used in Hoot'n'Holler systems for financial dealer-boards. I have been asked to try and interface to such circuits, and have been having great difficulty locating any specifications for the interface. Apparently, they are always-on 2-wire analogue circuits with

I have a client who wants a Meetme box with 12 FXO ports, to connect to Analogue lines coming from an Ericsson PBX. It looks like I could do this with four different hardware configurations: a) three TDM04B cards (based on TDM400P) b) one TDM04B and one TDM808B c) one TDM804B (or TDM854B?) and one TDP808B d) one TDM2403B (half filled TDM2400P) Apart from considerations of cost and PCI slot

I'm in the process of specifying the hardware for some new Asterisk systems which will be running a substantial number of conferences with recording. I was wondering what there is to choose between SCSI, SAS and SATA disks, in terms of performance for this kind of application. I will be using dual drives with kernel-based software RAID1. Any advice from experience would be appreciated!

When I bring up the Asterisk GUI in AsteriskNOW, using IE7, it displays a message at the top "Your browser is not supported by this version of GUI!", and "We recommend using Firefox". Does this mean that it is known NOT to work under IE7, or just that it is insufficiently tested to be guaranteed? It's easy to ask techies to use Firefox, but if we are trying to sell a

Thanks for the suggestion Tony, I installed each codec for MoH, core sounds, and extra sound packages. Unfortunately the tests produce the same results.
