how to dump a call to a ring group in asterisk
Tuesday, October 12th, 2010it’s seems like it’s pretty hard to dump an incoming call that is ringing multiple extensions via a ring group to voicemail in asterisk via a signal from a desktop phone, but I’ve managed to come up with something pretty close using perl and watching the log files from a sepearate process.. here’s the code
phone sends sip code 603 (which, IMHO, SHOULD do exactly what I’m trying to do here anyway) for ignore, daemon picks up on that, and then hangs up all extensions that are ringing
this probably won’t work very well in high call volumes.. and I bet someone might /dev/null someone on accident.. any suggestions to improve the “make sure you dump the right extensions” would be super.. but I think this will do pretty well
