[Asterisk-Dev] Call notification from voicemail box

[Robin van Leyden]

Hi all,

I made a small patch to the app_voicemail.c so it will be able to turn call
notification on or off. The destination that has to be notified can be set.

In the voicemail.conf there is a little addition in the user box

E.q.

1234 => 5678,Company2 User,root at localhost,,callnotify=sip/1234

This will call sip extension 1234 via a outgoing dial command. When
connected the extension will be directed to a section in extension.conf the
app_voicemail will pass a parameter called 'vmbox' witch contains the
voicemail box number who is notifying.

E.q. extension.conf

[voicemail_callnotify]
exten => a,1,voicemailmain(${vmbox})

This addition is patched in version : Asterisk CVS-v1-0-11/06/04-15:58:54

Find attached the CVS diff.
