It has lately come to my attention that this method is broken (and has<br>
been, for quite some time. Sure enough. It does not use any published<br>
inteerface) and that there is actually some demand for using it.<br>
<br>
A version of pipeast that seems to work now is:<br>
<br>
#!/bin/sh<br>
while read line; do<br>
echo "$line" | tr '\n' '\0'<br>
sleep 0.001<br>
done | nc -U /var/run/asterisk/asterisk.ctl<br>
<br>
<br>
Notes:<br>
1. nc, or at least openbsd-netcat, can use unix domain sockets (-U).<br>
No need for socat.<br>
<br>
2. that /var/run is slowly converting to /run , though the<br>
compatibility link /var/run will likely stay for quite some time.<br>
<br>
3. If this script breaks in the future, you get to keep both pieces.<br>
But this is only guaranteed if it breaks to exactly two pieces.<br>
