Yes. Your system will run much better DISPLAYING the above command IN your root prompt. I know I've said it before (and you ignored it then), but you really should invest just a smidgen of time actually learning Linux. However, if you to CREATE a 30 minute silent GSM file using the above command, type in AT your root prompt: for i in `seq 1 180` (press <ENTER> here) do (press <ENTER> here) cat /var/lib/asterisk/sounds/silence/10.gsm \ (press <ENTER> here) >>/var/lib/asterisk/sounds/30-minutes-of-silence.gsm (press <ENTER> here) done (press <ENTER> here) For extra credit, figure out how the example below works and why it is (slightly) better: ( for i in `seq 1 180` do cat /var/lib/asterisk/sounds/silence/10.gsm done ) >/var/lib/asterisk/sounds/30-minutes-of-silence.gsm -- Thanks in advance, ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Steve Edwards sedwa...@sedwards.com Voice: +1-760-468-3867 PST Newline Fax: +1-760-731-3000 -- _____________________________________________________________________ -- Bandwidth and Colocation Provided by http://www.api-digital.com -- New to Asterisk?
