Re: [asterisk-users] cdr_custom outout to serial port
No problem. The program is in Windows. Contact me off line to make arrangements to send you the installation files. C. Savinovich Long ago, I wrote a nice program that reads CDR output from any legacy PBX via the serial port. Not much in use lately, but I will be happy to furbish it with mysql output to anyone who asks. Yes, please. What OS does it run under? Thanks!

[asterisk-users] cdr_custom outout to serial port
Hello, I have a system in a motel that needs call billing data output through its serial port so the existing motel management software can collect the call billing info. Is there any easy way to redirect the data that goes into the cdr_custom/Master.csv file to go out the serial port ? The system is Asterisk 1.4.18.1 on Centos 5.1 Thanks, Col - Original Message - From: Peder @ NetworkOblivion [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: Asterisk Users Mailing List - Non-Commercial Discussion asterisk-users@lists.digium.com Sent: Saturday, April 12, 2008 1:37 PM Subject: Re: [asterisk-users] NAT issue with Fortinet Firewall FYI, I have probably 10 Fortinet units with multiple SIP phones behind each and all of the phones work flawlessly.

Re: [asterisk-users] cdr_custom outout to serial port
Hello again, I can copy the file out the serial port by doing this: rename Master.csv out1.csv cat out1.csv /dev/ttyS0 If I build a script to do this every 10 or 20 seconds via cron I think it will work fine, unless someone has a better way.

How about a tail -f on Master.csv ? Then you will have everything realtime and you will not need a cronjob.
