Config edit question

Hi,
I need to call the config edit "Re-Read Config" function from a script, but at present I have been unable to work out how the PHP calls it.

Any chance of some pointers?

Steve

Hi Steve

All its doing is a asterisk.reload script,

Code:

// command for switch to read conf files // commented out for demo $reset_cmd = "/bin/asterisk.reload"; //chaged for demo

The script is

Code:

#!/usr/bin/perl -w use Socket; use IO::Handle; system("/usr/bin/killall op_server.pl"); socket(SOCK, AF_INET, SOCK_STREAM, getprotobyname('tcp'))         or die "Cannot create a socket: $!\n"; connect(SOCK, sockaddr_in(5038, inet_aton('127.0.0.1')))         or die "Cannot connect to the manager port\n"; SOCK->autoflush(1); $text = "Action: Login\r\n"; $text .= "Username: phpconfig\r\n"; $text .= "Secret: php[onfig\r\n\r\n"; $text .= "Action: Command\r\nCommand: reload\r\n\r\n"; print SOCK $text; while (<SOCK>) {         print if not /Message:/ and not /Response:/ and not /END COMMAND/;         exit 0 if /END COMMAND/ } exit 0;

so all you need todo is call the asterisk.reload

Hope that helps

Cheers its spot on !

I have an issue with my trixbox that incoming sipgate trunks go to a 6 second cut off if my IP address changes.

I had been rebooting to cure the problem but think a reload may be better hence the question.

I have written a script that can be run by CRON periodically and
compare the current IP and old IP if a change is detected it will cause a reload.

Code:

nslookup some_domain.dyndns.org | tail -2 > ip.txt IP=$(more ip.txt) OLDIP=$(more oldip.txt) if [ "$IP" = "$OLDIP" ]; then echo no change else echo changed /bin/asterisk.reload more ip.txt > oldip.txt fi

I posted my script too soon, when I ran it via cron it didn,t work

Only needed some minor tweaks!

Also added a function to send an email notifying the change.

Code:

nslookup some_domain.dyndns.org | tail -2 > ip.txt IP=$(tail ip.txt) OLDIP=$(tail oldip.txt) if [ "$IP" = "$OLDIP" ]; then echo no change else echo changed /bin/asterisk.reload #!/bin/bash # script to send simple email # email subject SUBJECT="IP Change notification" # Email To ? EMAIL="someone@somewhere.com" # Email text/message EMAILMESSAGE="mail.txt" echo $IP "from" > $EMAILMESSAGE echo $OLDIP >>$EMAILMESSAGE # send an email using /bin/mail /bin/mail -s "$SUBJECT" "$EMAIL" < $EMAILMESSAGE tail ip.txt > oldip.txt fi

Notes.

1/ this has only been tested by me disconnecting and reconnecting my router. But it did seem to resolve my sipgate issue.

2/ I run this as a cron job every 5 minutes so in theory the issue could be present for up to 5 minutes .

3/ It works for me I can't say if it will work for you, use at your own risk.
