Steven wrote: I have been thinking of sending a page when asterisk dials 911. beep Attention, 911 has been dialed by dialing-extension whose callerID is callerID. I think an email would also be appropriate for HR/facility records. Does anyone know how to send an email from the dialplan? I assume I would need an agi for this, but I would want to spawn it off and not affect the call to 911, but also not wait for the call to finish either. So, the second question is, how do I spawn a second call flow without affecting the first? I like the idea of an email being generated when 911 is dialed. I'll have to keep that in mind when I set up the system I'm currently planning. But, to your question... I have asterisk send me an email under certain conditions. What I did was create a shell script that did the work of sending the email which accepted arguments to pass along the info I needed. Then I just used the System app in the dialplan to execute the script. It's actually pretty simple to do. It gets a little more difficult if you don't have sendmail/postfix/etc installed on your asterisk server. I ended up using an smtp client program that behaved like the sendmail command to send the mail through another server. -Dave ___ --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

Also, append an ampersand sign to the end of the script name so it will detach from the script and not hold up the dial command.

Title: Re: [asterisk-users] Re: 911 versus 9.911 I ran into the same situation at one of my customers. The recording worked perfectly, and has resolved any accidental 911 calls.

You have dialed 911, if this was not intended hang-up now, otherwise please wait a moment Then connect them to 911. Yes they may not hang up soon enough, but there is not excuse for it. We allow 911 and 9911 (in case they think they need to dial 9). Maybe I will try the recording that I proposed. -- James Texter ___ --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
