[asterisk-users] Paging MEETME_RECORDINGFILE Variable

[Forrest Beck]

I am having a weird issue with setting the recording file for the  
Page app.  Here is some quick background info

I have a macro that pages all my phones:

[macro-pageall]
; Context for paging all devices.
;       This will search the sip table in the realtime database
;       for all phones that start with a number.  That number is
;       passed to this macro as ${ARG1}.
;
;       ARG1 = The first digit of the phones to be paged (6=US  
Campus, 4=MS, 2=LS)
;       ARG2 = Device for the PA system.  If the user selected to
;               page the PA system.  That will be included.
;
exten => s,1,MYSQL(Connect connid ${realdb_host} ${realdb_user} $ 
{realdb_pass} ${realdb_db})
exten => s,2,MYSQL(Query resultid ${connid} SELECT\ name\ FROM\ sip\  
WHERE\ name\ LIKE\ "'${ARG1}%'")
exten => s,3,MYSQL(Fetch fetchid ${resultid} number)
exten => s,4,GoToIf($["${fetchid}" = "1"]?5:7)
exten => s,5,Set(pagedevice=${pagedevice}&SIP/${number})
exten => s,6,GoToIf($["${fetchid}" = "1"]?3:7)
exten => s,7,Set(pagedevice=${pagedevice:1})
exten => s,8,MYSQL(Clear ${resultid})
exten => s,9,MYSQL(Disconnect ${connid})
exten => s,10,GoToIf($["${ARG2}" != ""]?11:12)
exten => s,11,Set(pagedevice=${pagedevice}&${ARG2})
;Add Call Info for GrandStream Phone on the PA system
exten => s,12,SIPAddHeader(Call-Info:answer-after=0)
;Add Alert-Info for all Polycom Phones
exten => s,13,SIPAddHeader(Alert-Info: Ring Answer)
exten => s,14,Set(MEETME_RECORDINGFILE=custom/paging/campuslastpage_$ 
{RAND(1|100)})
exten => s,15,NoOp(${MEETME_RECORDINGFILE})
exten => s,16,Set(CALLERID(all)=System Page <1010>)
exten => s,17,Page(${pagedevice},r)
exten => h,1,System(/var/lib/asterisk/scripts/mail_lastpage ${ARG1} $ 
{MEETME_RECORDINGFILE})
exten => h,2,Hangup()

I call the macro with:
;Page All Phones including the PA system.
exten => 1010,1,Authenticate(12345)
exten => 1010,2,Macro(pageall,2,SIP/ls-pa)

Basically the macro goes through my sip realtime database and finds  
all the phones that begin with the number 2 (my lower school  
campus).  The generates a variable named pagedevice that looks like  
this:
SIP/2101&SIP/2102&SIP/2103

This part works great.

The issue I am having is setting the MEETME_RECORDINGFILE.  It should  
be set to an audio file in the custom sounds directory with a random  
number at the end.  I then use a hangup (h) extension to execute a  
script (at bottom of email) to email the audio file to a conference  
area in our email system (FirstClass).

What is weird is after I restart the asterisk process, this works  
fine for about a week.  It does exactly as it is supposed to, creates  
the audio file with a random number, then the email script delivers  
it.  After a week or so Asterisk will stop setting the variable  
MEETME_RECORDINGFILE and start placing the recordings in the sounds  
directory named meetme-conf-rec.######.wav.  Which is the default is  
MEETME_RECORDINGFILE is not set.

Anyone seen this issue before?

Thanks!
