i would use a dial plan, but we are monitoring about 1200 units in the field, i thought a dial plan would be a little long or complex for that. I suppose that i could use a dial plan and set guys up by editing the extensions.conf
file for each one ? I just thought it might be easier to script it somehow.<br><br>thanks<br><br>sk<br><br><div><span class="gmail_quote">On 7/28/06, <b class="gmail_sendername">shawn bright</b> <<a href="mailto:nephish@gmail.com">

<br>Cool. What i need to do is a little more complex though. We monitor field equipment for farmers, right now we store their info in a mysql database, and present it to them via pager, or the web. We are looking to implement an ivr system that would call them and play a message when their equipment changes status, and allow them to call in to check on status of certain equipment.
<br>They will all have the same phone number to call in, and they will login with a 5 digit pin number, they then need to enter a two digit number to access info about a particular piece of equipment that we monitor. Ok, so this is a little complex for a dial plan. So i want to use python to handle it. There are two modules out there, but i can't seem to find much in the way of documentation for them. One is called Py-Asterisk, the other is called pyst.
<br><br>There is also a ruby module called RAGI, but i cant seem to find any docs for it. I found one tutorial, but it required Rails to be installed. <br><br>So what i am asking for i suppose.... if anyone out there knows of some good docs for a python or ruby solution, preferably with some examples, please pass the links on to me.
<br><br>i have the ATOF book, and its really helped me get started, but i suppose i need examples more closely related to what i am doing.<br><br>if you have read this far, thanks for your time.<br><br>-sk<br>
