for thread breaking... I'm on digest.<BR><BR>>> I'm curious (ok, well
I admit it - it's for perosnal gain) what <BR>>> methods people are
using to manage asterisk config files when they<BR>>> have multiple
asterisk systems?<BR>><BR>>I'm using CVS. I only have one server right
now. I use it on other<BR>>clusters to sync files and it works for me..
<BR><BR>Instead of doing this, I ended up creating a MySQL database and a
few<BR>scripts to generate the config files for each of my
servers. All I have to<BR>do is update the database, and the
correct server pulls the information from <BR>the DB, generates the file,
reloads, and sends reboot messages to the proper<BR>phones. Very
specific to my needs, but extremely fast and
effective. And<BR>all it requires on each Asterisk server is
cron, PHP, and php-mysql. <BR><BR>I had to customize a few of the variables
inside the PHP scripts for each<BR>server, but by putting them close to the
top, it's not a real big deal when<BR>I update the scripts to customize them
for my servers. Mind you, I only <BR>have 4 servers on this
system, but we don't anticipate growing beyond one<BR>more server for a
while.<BR><BR>One thing to mention that I have found: use lots of
macros. Some of my<BR>macros require 6 or 7 arguments, but they
are extremely flexible and trivial <BR>to generate on the fly through these
tools. Each extension fits in only one<BR>line in the dialplan
(calls a macro). Entries in the DB turn on and off<BR>features,
sets the timeout, forwards to another extension or sends to <BR>voicemail,
etc.<BR><BR>Just what I'm doing. Hope it
helps.<BR><BR>David<BR><BR><BR>_______________________________________________<BR>--Bandwidth
