It's a greeting converted from a .wav and what I'm looking to do is have
just this one box play this specific greeting.

It's not possible for the user to log in and change this - it's a
'system' mailbox with no client attached to it. The logic of which is a
bit odd (basically it's a voicebank only)

I don't mind duplicating the greeting into different formats - that's
not an issue. I just need to know where I put them for 4000.

For example, if I look at the default box '1234' I don't really get any
clues as the default playing message is called: vm-intro.gsm

ls -alh /var/spool/asterisk/voicemail/default/1234/
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4.0K 2009-12-09 07:47 en
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4.0K 2009-12-09 07:47 INBOX {EMPTY}
..
ls -alh /var/spool/asterisk/voicemail/default/1234/en/
total 32K
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 8.7K 2009-12-09 07:47 busy.gsm
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 8.6K 2009-12-09 07:47 unavail.gsm

What I need to know are the formats I need and location I need to
satisfy it unless there is some hideously simple 'Use this switch to
specify the greeting file' I'm missing?


ls -alh /var/spool/asterisk/voicemail/voicemail/4000/
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root  31K 2009-12-30 14:45 CUSTOMvm-intro.gsm
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4.0K 2009-12-30 14:46 INBOX
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4.0K 2009-12-30 14:46 tmp
