Have a look at an e-mail which I send yesterday to this list. It contains a simple example for a call file. That is the way you want to go. With that you can create a script which solves your problem. Stefan I looked this and http://voip-info.org/wiki/view/Asterisk+auto-dial+out+deliver+message, both using call files. Can the same commands be used from inside extensions.conf to do same? Yuan Liu ___ --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 The issue is not can you execute the same commands from within extensions.conf, but how are you going to trigger the action without external input. We process calls using the following methodology: 1.Cron starts a job at preset times 2.script log into postgresql and determines if any call are to be made at this time 3.Script then determines how many calls can be made based on codecs, time of day, and service provider to be used 4.Script generates call file/s into temporary directory based on above criteria and moves them to /var/spool/asterisk/outgoing 5.Asterisk places calls, and using cdr_pgsql writes cdr to database 6.upon insert a trigger fires to update list of called numbers and indicate success or failure 7.goto 1 Simple process, extensions.conf is used for all call flow, and no external processes used for updates to database. We used AGi in past and found that this process was actually easier to maintain as the only code written was a simple php script for db access and call file generation. Don't know if this helps with ideas but if you are interested in additional details contact me off list. ___ --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

re: [asterisk-users] Automatic Dial, Play message
I've made a very simple one time ago I could share with you, it's made on bash, takes as input a CSV file, places the calls using the /var/spool/asterisk/outbound directory, and restricts the number of calls to a given number at a time (say 10) I can share it with you only if you promise NOT to use it for Telemarketing, otherwise might the mighty spirits of (place the name of some super natural power here) cast the most terrible spell on you forever and ever. so, if you still want it just contact me directly :) Alyed Return-Path: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Received: from digium-69-16-138-164.phx1.puregig.net [69.16.138.164] by maila11.webcontrolcenter.com with SMTP; Thu, 8 Feb 2007 12:26:37 -0700 Received: from digium-69-16-138-164.phx1.puregig.net (localhost [127.0.0.1]) by lists.digium.com (Postfix) with ESMTP id 584F42FC8C6; Thu, 8 Feb 2007 10:39:31 -0700 (MST) Does anyone have some method, or AGI scripts that will automatically call a list of numbers from a database and play a pre-recorded message?

Just for example, you have a database of FirstName, LastName, PhoneNumber Jon, Beck, 9194713175 I'm currently working on an AGI/GUI application to do this right now as a part of another, larger project. It uses a FirebirdSQL database to store lists of people to broadcast messages to. There will be a Windows/Linux based GUI to control/configure it as well. It should be a ready in a month or so. Send me a private email if you don't find anything by then. -- Warm Regards, Lee ___ --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
