[asterisk-users] Can asterisk give half-ring periodically for MWI?

[Justin Ridge]

That's a clever idea, and it sounds like a viable solution.  But (and not knocking your inventiveness in any way), its a bit of a hack to get around what seems like a clear limitation.

I'll keep looking for a more elegant solution over the next couple of days, and give this a go if nothing "cleaner" turns up.  Thanks for suggesting it!

For my wife I recently set up a cron schedule that, every ten minutes, 
greps the output of "show voicemail users" for a new message waiting.  
Upon finding one, it dumps a call file into asterisk's outgoing 
directory that rings the house phone and, when one is picked up, it 
connects the user to voicemailmain.   You could put a waittime of just 
three or four seconds, that should give approx. half a ring and then 
stop....
