[asterisk-users] call files .vbs

[C F]

I'm the original author of said VB Script.
Steve is right, I had lots of errors - related to the fact that
asterisk watches it too closely and reads the files even before they
are complete - and have since updated it that it first dumps it to a
temp directory, then use a bash script on the linux machine that moves
all files from the temp directory to the call directory using plink.
Both pscp and plink are windoz programs that utilize ssh for their
functions. Pscp xfers files, and plink executes any remote commands.
In the newer version pscp in the VB Script dumps it to
/root/calltemps/ and /root/mvcallfiles.sh moves the files from
/root/calltemps/* to /var/spool/asterisk/outgoing/
change this line:
strcmd="C:\pscp -pw password c:\direcotry\"&strcnt&"\*
root at asterisk:/var/spool/asterisk/outgoing"
to:
strcmd="C:\pscp -pw password c:\directory\"&strcnt&"\*
root at asterisk:/root/calltemps"
make sure the dir exists
then add:
Set objShell2 = CreateObject("WScript.Shell")
	strcmd2="C:\plink -pw password root at asterisk /root/mvcallfiles.sh"
	objShell2.Run strcmd2
/root/movcallfiles.sh:
#/bin/bash

mv /root/calltemps/* /var/spool/asterisk/outgoing/

Hope this helps.
