[asterisk-users] How to "busy out" zap channels

[Brian Roy]

I know this topic came up many months back and some discussions were being
had on how to do this within the Zaptel drivers. However, I'm looking for
even a crude hack that someone has put together to get this done.

We have PRI's and LD T1's that are load balanced on two boxes. The hunt
order goes from box to box as far as the spans are concerned. There are
times that I would like to busy one out so that calls gradually role to the
new box and I can eventually take one out of service. What I was thinking is
to create a script that I could tell the specific channels and it would go
through and initiate zap calls to an empty meetme. Basically bridging all of
the available zap channels on a given span together. Then the trick is
monitoring the hangups so that it can initiate a subsequent call immediately
following. Once all of the channels in a span have been bridged, I can then
bring the box down. Nasty huh?

Anyone have a better idea? Or do they have anything like this so I'm not
putting it together?

Thanks,

-Brian
