Success + a Caller ID Question II

• Messages sorted by:[ date ][ thread ][ subject ][ author ]

 Gert, I can sense your frustration with me, but I believe it is ill-deserved.  I have spend every hour the last few days trying to figure this out.  I have read every manual and every dejanews/mailing list posting available on the topic.  I have tried myriad configurations, with no success.   

It is only after much weeping and gnashing of teeth that I come to you for assistance.

Did try it previously, with no success.  However, knowing this is the 'right' path, I have continued to pursue this angle.

In both my mgetty.config, and voice.conf, I have added the statement "cnd-program /usr/local/bin/program.cnd" near the end of the file.  The file program.cnd consists of only the statement "touch /itworks".  By my understanding, program.cnd should be kicked off after the first ring of EVERY call, but /itworks has never been created. 
 
I have debug level set to 5.  In vgetty.modem, the statement following statement appears : "05/16 13:41:51 dem   conf lib: read: 'cnd-program /usr/local/bin/program.cnd' "

I may not be the brightest bulb, but I have found that the documentation, particularly the part on Caller ID, left a little TOO much to my vivid imagination.

I won't take any more of your valuable time, however, I would appreciate it if you could please mail me examples of such a working setup, possibly your own,  including  voice.conf, mgetty.config, and "program.cnd" files.  

I should be able to extract what I need from them.

Many statements in the various config files are commented out and accompanied by explanations.  
Such an addition for cnd-program may be something to consider.

BTW, regarding those dumping pvftools, when I send you guys the relevant info, do you want me to attach the core file?

Wearily yours,
Dan.
