Cameron:
After a little reading it would seem that adding a column for externotify
to the Asterisk Realtime Voicemail MySQL table should allow Asterisk
to use an external program in the same way it does in the non-realtime
configuration. Have you tried this approach? If so please explain what
happened (I have a vested interest in finding out :-) )
Thanks,Steve

Hi Steve
Asterisk realtime Architecture (ARA or realtime) is a way of storing
all configs in a database rather than flatfiles. ast_data is another.
There's more on the wiki if you're interested.
Oh I see. I would like to use MySQL in the near future but as I said
our implementation
is small right now.
With your setup, how does Asterisk know where to send the MWI
notification? Do you have duplicate settings i.e. the user details
are stored both in SER and Asterisk? That's what I want to avoid.
Yes we have duplicate settings. I'll need to begin addressing the use
of MySQL with
Asterisk in about one week from now. If I discover anything that might
be helpful
I'll let you know.

Subject: Re: [Asterisk-Users] MWI for SER and Asterisk - ast_data vs
"realtime"
I'm not familiar with the use of the word "realtime" in this context.
What do you mean? I have been using vmnotify to toggle MWI
on 79x0 phones that are registered to SER and use Asterisk for
voicemail and it works great. Admittedly we have a small installation
(about 75 users) but so far this approach works reliably.

Bug 002980 contains a patch that delivers MWI from Asterisk to SIP
clients registered with SER. It requires ast_data which doesn't
patch the current CVS HEAD. Since I need MWI and I want Asterisk
and SER to store data in a shared database I could:
- use an old version of Asterisk and install ast_data. The patch
author runs a large-scale clustered SER/Asterisk environment and
believes ast_data to be superior to "realtime". However "realtime"
may now have developed to the point that these objections are no
longer relevant. Specific problems still seem to be SIP clients
behind NAT and voicemail notifications (both very important to me)
- use realtime and write something that gives me the functionality
required and hope that the NAT and voicemail issues get fixed soon.
Apart from it being a pain to write this I also have not heard of
anyone using SER + Asterisk "realtime" in a large-scale production
environment. If anyone has had any such successes it would be good
to know about them.
I would appreciate thoughts on these (or any other) alternatives.
