[Asterisk-Users] RE: voicemail file permissions

[Carlton J. O'Riley]

Here is a script I use in a cron job that runs every 5 minutes to make it so
that my webserver (which runs as the apache group) can access the voicemails
through the web.  Seems to fix my problems.  Although if I get the email
there is a voicemail it might be 5 minutes before I can get to it via the
web, but you could increase the frequency at which this job runs.  Five
minutes has been fine for me.  It'd be nice to be able to set the owner and
group and permissions for voicemail files in the configuration file for
voicemail.  If I had time I'd probably do it myself.
