Re: [asterisk-users] colors in the console
Lacy Moore - Aspendora wrote: I'm wondering if anyone else has experienced this. Up until a few days ago, when accessing the CLI from my terminal program (Private Shell), the output was in color. I haven't upgraded, rebuilt, or to my knowledge, changed anything in Asterisk that would change this. My terminal settings were the same as well. I have two computers that I access the CLI regularly on, and neither show color anymore. When I disconnect, Private Shell shows the disconnect in red, just like before. This tells me that Private Shell is still doing color. What controls the color coding in the CLI? I found something in the source about it, but again, since it has been recompiled, this should not have changed. Is there a config file somewhere that I'm too blind to find? Thanks! -- Lacy Moore Somewhere I wish I wasn't I believe that only the CLI console provides color: e.g. asterisk -c. Connecting to an already-running asterisk process will not provide color: e.g. asterisk -r.

My typical configuration is: - Asterisk 1.2.14 (or 1.4.0beta3) - CentOS 4.4 server. The problem is this: When I start Asterisk with the default init script (/etc/init.d/asterisk start) distributed with the source, and kill (or kill -9) Asterisk-pid, then safe_asterisk doesn't correctly work (it dies and not restart Asterisk). Instead, if I start Asterisk with safe_asterisk command from shell, after "kill Asterisk-pid", safe_asterisk restart Asterisk correctly. I would use the init script because I like to use Linux-HA that require this. Edit that init.d script lightly not to use safe_asterisk. safe_asterisk is not close to robust anyway, and thus will only complicate things. Seconded.

[asterisk-users] Survey: In what ways do you use Asterisk at your house?
All, I'm starting to tinker with Asterisk for use in my home. Here's my current setup: Cox broadband telephone <--> spa3k-fxo analog phones + answering machine (all on one line) <--> spa3k-fxs I can pick up a phone in my house, dial a certain extension, and the spa3k will connect me to Asterisk, which currently plays a message and hangs up (not particularly useful). If I dial any other number, the spa3k dials that number out on the fxo. The main thing I'm trying to do right now is replace my answering machine with *-based voicemail. I want to retain the ability to screen calls (listen on a speaker while a person is leaving a message), but I'm not sure of the best way to go about this. Recommendations are welcome. Note that my * box and answering machine are on two different floors in my house, so running a speaker in the kitchen (answering machine location) from the sound card on the * box is doable, but not desirable. Also of note: I only have basic no-frills phone service (no caller id, no call waiting, etc), though I am open to adding options if there's a good reason. The main reason for this e-mail is to see what other people are doing. - What service provider/technology do you use for origination/termination? - What hardware/software do you use and how does it all tie together? - What tasks do you use * to accomplish? - Any other pertinent info. I'm trying to find practical uses for *, but I'd like to throw in some fun/pointless stuff as well. Thanks for your time.

Re: [asterisk-users] strange caller display
Rilawich Ango wrote: Hi all, I am using asterisk1.2.14,realtime and I find there is a strange case in the receiver's display. I have a dial plan to route a call to the destination. I haven't set the callerid(num) for the caller. In the receive ends, it's display shows "asterisk" when I make a call to the receiver. I wonder why "asterisk" shows in the display as I haven't set any word - asterisk in any configuration file. How to remove that word from the receive end if it is a default word? Below is the log dump from ngrep. There is no "asterisk" in the from header except the option message. I wonder why "asterisk" will be shown in the receiver end's screen. ango callerid on SIP channels defaults to "asterisk". The only way to override it is to set it in your sip.conf. Though I think that if you get callerid from the calling device, that would override the default as well. I think the order of precedence is (highest to lowest): sip.conf callerid for calling device calling device's transmitted callerid default - "asterisk" Earle ___ --Bandwidth and Colocation provided by Easynews.com -- asterisk-users mailing list To UNSUBSCRIBE or update options visit: http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users
[asterisk-users] Looped message playback
Hello, I'm trying to play an audio file to a phone an arbitrary number of times. The audio is a five-second segment of a sine wave. I need this to be played repeatedly without gaps between playbacks. I've tried doing this in the dial plan, e.g.: exten => s,1,Playback(tonefile) exten => s,2,Goto(1) but there is too long of a gap between the playbacks. Does anyone know of a way to achieve this?

Well, I don't have a solution for the general case (looped playback), but if you are only playing a sine wave, couldn't you use Playtones() instead? It has the ability to play a tone indefinitely until you tell it to stop. John I thought about that. The problem is that I need to be able to play any kind of tone (e.g. warble, etc.). I'm only using a pure tone right now because it's easy to hear the gaps.

You have a long gap in your tone file. Eric, You were correct. The file had some header information that should not have been there. I manually stripped of the header so there's only audio data and now the above works fine. Thanks.
