[asterisk-users] cdr_custom outout to serial port

[Col Ferguson]

Thanks for the idea Zoa.

I've got the cronjob working every minute now using

if [ -f /var/log/asterisk/cdr-custom/Master.csv ]
  then
    cd /var/log/asterisk/cdr-custom
    mv -f Master.csv out1.csv
    cat out1.csv > /dev/ttyS0
fi

Using tail -f would give me the realtime output, but a few questions as a
real linux novice;
What would be the best way to start this up ?
How would I monitor it to make sure it hasn't died, and how to restart ?

Cheers,
Col
