[Asterisk-Users] Command line

[Joe Pukepail]

For an example here is what I setup to call out, we have a job that runs on
our mainframe, when the job completes it ftps flag1.txt to our asterisk
server, the .bash program is run from the crontab at a certain time and
notifiy staff if the job is not complete at that time.  It will keep calling
(using phoneme[1-3].call until someone acknowleges the alert by pressing
"1".


There might be a better way of doing this using AGI (or another way), but
this is what I came up with.
