As Diego wrote: it's FreePBX (or is it freePBX?)

Anyway, if you have an automatic script generating your configuration
from some data, then there are 3 ways to affect your configuration:

1. change the data
2. change the generated configuration directly
3. change the script

I was really surprized to see how few people chose option (3).
This is evident by the fact that those scripts in FreePBX do not have
their own custom options.
