It's been said that one can fire MWI by touching a msgXXXX.txt file in
the /var/spool/asterisk/voicemail/[context]/[voicemailbox]/INBOX. It
happen to be unable to achieve this behavior from my Asterisk server.<br>
<br>
So I was wondering if this trick is reproductible on recent versions of
Asterisk (mine is 1.6.0.5), since these informations found on wikis
seem to be a little old. Is this simple msgXXXX.txt file creation still
triggering MWI on registered clients ? <br>
<br>
On my machine, Asterisk fires MWI *only at startup* (restart
gracefully) if I have previously created such a file. If I want my
phones to receive another correct MWI (by deleting the file so the new
messages count would be 0), I have to restart Asterisk again. Is this
behavior normal ?<br>
<br>
If so, I would like to suggest a feature request. How about a dialplan
function that would trigger MWI to a particular client, and accept
parameters, such as a "false" arbitrary number of new messages ? Of
course, it is always possible to use sipsak to achieve this, but I was
just wondering if this could be possible in Asterisk.<br>
<br>
Hope all this is quite clear.<br>
<br>
Thanks<br>
