Hi all,I am syncing call files on my secondary asterisk server but without permission to read for asterisk. So they should be executed when I grant the right permissions (thats when my primary asterisk server crashes or shutsdown somehow). But asterisk only tries to read the file at the time of placing the file. So when i grant right permissions nothing happens. Is there any workaround to this problem?


I need to continue the execution of call files on secondary server if primary server fails. The call files are suppose to retry for 45 mins if the call does not get connected.

Thanks in advance.

See https://wiki.asterisk.org/wiki/display/AST/Asterisk+Call+Files Especially the parts about creating the files in a different directory and the parts about the scheduling call files.

You could save the call file initially to "/var/spool/asterisk/tmp", then adjust the permissions
as needed and necessary. Finally copy the call file into the "outgoing" directory. This also
minimizes the chance that Asterisk tries to execute a partial file, although I don't know
whether one still has to take care of issues like that.

Looking at Eric Wieling's response and the wiki entry he mentioned, the precaution is still
necessary.

Have you tried to restart asterisk after setting the correct permissions?

HTH,
Ioan

Thanks for the responses.

Touching a file after setting permissions does not work. Asterisk only looks at the new file only, not all the files in the directory.
Restarting asterisk does work, but dont want to do this.
Best way i think would be, as suggested by JG, to sync in a tmp directory and at the time of switch-over mv to outgoing directory.


Cheers
