Use ";" instead of "#" to comment dahdi/system.conf.  If it's auto-
generated, perhaps this would help after the auto-generation:

  sed -i -e 's/^#/;/' /etc/dahdi/system.conf

That has been around for quite some time. That's basically the
only way the GUI can read files.

/me fears this #include will bre replaced by an #exec.

On our live CD we have an extra dahdi-perl config generation module to
generate configuration for the GUI. We can easily format its output in
any required format. Though it naturally won't reflect any editing of
system.conf .

As specified in my first message, this Warning messages were issued by
asterisk-gui 2.1.0-rc1 but maybe other versions are also affected.

Shall I open a ticket for this one ?

Re: [asterisk-users] Properly Escaping Quotes and Commas

[Cody Harris]

Actually, this seemed to work as I would like:
exten => s,n,Set(IMCID='${CALLERID(name)}' <${CALLERID(num)}>)

No need to mess with quotes that way.

Re: [asterisk-users] Properly Escaping Quotes and Commas

I just tried to use replace, but I'm not sure I got the syntax right:

exten => s,n,Set(IMCID=${REPLACE("${CALLERID(all)}",",')})

complains

[Dec 22 14:01:29] ERROR[16755]: pbx.c:3528 ast_func_read2: Function  not

Any suggestions?  Thanks!

This is the GUI that I am referring to.
http://svn.asterisk.org/svn/asterisk-gui/  Some people use it,  as it

That's very broken. /etc/dahdi/system.conf is not an Asterisk 
configuration file, it doesn't follow the same syntax, and there's no 
reason whatsoever for Asterisk to be reading it.


What is "the GUI"? There are lots of GUIs for Asterisk.

During a normal install from sources with the GUI, you get

dahdi_guiread.conf:#include "../dahdi/system.conf"

I could be mistaken, but I don't think, by default, any of the 
configuration files should be including /etc/dahdi/system.conf. 
 
Where is that include coming from in your configuration? 

In mine it only shows up in some comments:

  $ grep dahdi\/system\.conf /etc/asterisk/*
  /etc/asterisk/chan_dahdi.conf:; /etc/dahdi/system.conf. This sets the tone 
zone by number.
  /etc/asterisk/chan_dahdi.conf:; /etc/dahdi/system.conf).

These are only warnings.  You can remove the comments if you want just

Hi,

Testing 1.8.8.0 (with Dahdi 2.5.0.2 and asterisk-gui 2.1.0-rc1), I'm
seeing this on my console:

WARNING[25363]: config.c:1208 process_text_line: Unknown directive '#'
at line 1 of /etc/asterisk/../dahdi/system.conf

This warning is repeated for every line starting with  a # char.
Shall I care ?
Suggestions ?

(To me, /etc/asterisk/../dahdi/system.conf belongs to Dahdi, not to Asterisk)

Re: [asterisk-users] Using shell script output into phoneprov.conf's custom variables

Great !

At least, this gives me a workaround : I need to value a custom
variable to something like 201112221645 (date and time (in hours and
minutes).
An include and an external script (ran every minute) would just give me that.

Maybe an exec, that would be triggered by an appropriate event, would
also do it.

Thanks for helping.

Re: [asterisk-users] Properly Escaping Quotes and Commas

[Danny Nicholas]

You could use the REPLACE function to zap the quotes and commas.

asterisk -rx "core show function REPLACE"

 

  -= Info about function 'REPLACE' =-

 

[Synopsis]

Replace a set of characters in a given string with another character.

 

[Description]

Iterates through a string replacing all the  with .   may be either empty or contain one character.  If
empty,

all  will be deleted from the output.

NOTE: The replacement only occurs in the output.  The original variable is

not altered.

 

[Syntax]

REPLACE(varname,find-chars[,replace-char])

 

[Arguments]

Subject: [asterisk-users] Properly Escaping Quotes and Commas

 

Hello all,

I have a setup where Asterisk sends a message to a few jabber users on each
incoming call, like:

 

exten => s,n,Macro(sendim,"Incoming call from ${CALLERID(all)}")

 

The macro looks like this:

 

[macro-sendimuser2]

exten => s,n,JabberSend(asterisk,us...@gmail.com,${ARG1})

exten => s,n,JabberSend(asterisk,us...@internal.jabber.server.tld,${ARG1})

 

[macro-sendim]

exten => s,1,Noop("Holder");

same  => n,Macro(sendimuser1,${ARG1})

same  => n,Macro(sendimuser2,${ARG1})

 

The issue I'm having, is if the callerID contains a command, such as:
Lastname, Firstname, ${CALLERID(all)} turns into "Lastname, Firstname"
.

 

This seems to mess up the quoting, as the macro argument expands to be

"Incoming call from "Lastname, Firstname" , and the ${ARG1} as the
macro sees it is set to "Incoming call from "Lastname

 

The comma ends up outside the double quotes and then it splits the macro
arguments.

 

What's the best way to do this right?

 

 

Thanks!!!

This is one of the 'harder' things to calculate. You'll at least want to start 
here for some ideas:

http://www.voip-info.org/wiki/view/Asterisk+dimensioning

In general however, you appear to have some beefy hardware. With a properly 
configured system (bare Linux, no GUI, some kernel sysctl tuning, etc), you 
should see fantastic performance on that box. Plus, with "turbo" you can always 
hit that little button[1] on the front of your server if you need a bit of a 
performance boost. :)

You probably need to re-run configure on tools:

Both #include and #exec (the latter: if enabled) should work in any
Asterisk config file.

Subject: Re: [asterisk-users] dahdi_tool missing

Did you try to make dahdi-tools before installing newt_devel ?

pre-requisits are on debian;
libncurses5-dev
libnewt-dev

I'm guessing as to what the problem might be, but I think that it now still 
complains that libnewt-dev needs to be installed.
I see this regularly when building a new installation and have forgotten to 
install libnewt-dev or what ever.

re running ./configure and then 'make menuslect' always reports as below (even 
after installing libncurses5-dev and libnewt-dev)

CC="" CXX="g++" LD="" AR="" RANLIB="" CFLAGS="" make -C menuselect 
CONFIGURE_SILENT="--silent" makeopts
make[1]: Entering directory `/usr/src/pbx/dahdi-tools/menuselect'

Perhaps you should add the directory containing `gtk+-2.0.pc'
to the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable

No menuselect user interface found. Install ncurses,
newt or GTK libraries to build one and re-rerun
'make menuselect'.
asterix:/usr/src/pbx/dahdi-tools#

The quickest solution for me in the past has been to install the dev tools 
required. Delete the dahdi-tools directory and re checkout.

I can repeat this, on a headless debian squeeze box, no GUI.
I've just repeated this, just by uninstalling
   libncurses5-dev
   libnewt-dev
then take a fresh checkout
svn co http://svn.digium.com/svn/dahdi/tools/trunk dahdi-tools
then
   ./configure
   make menuselect
  error messages as above are emitted
then
  apt-get install libncurses5-dev
  apt-get install libnewt-dev
then
   ./configure
then
   make menuselect
  error messages as above are emitted

But now I've spent the time
  rm menuselect/makeopts
  ./configure
  make menuselect

As a workaround, is it possible to use include statements in phoneprov.conf ?

[asterisk-users] Using shell script output into phoneprov.conf's custom variables

[Olivier]

Hello,

I'm looking at phoneprov.conf capabilities for the first time.
I've seen this:
setvar => CUSTOM_CONFIG=/var/lib/asterisk/phoneprov/configs/custom.cfg
 ; Custom variable

Is it possible to use something like:
setvar => CUSTOM_CONFIG=$(/bin/date)

In other words, is it possible to use the output of a shell script as
a way to set a phoneprov.conf custom variable ?

(I could test this on my own, but as I'm new to the whole
phoneprov.conf process which gives many reasons to fail, I prefer to
ask here).

Regards
