|
| Is there a way to limit outbound calls when feeding files to the outgoing directory in asterisk? I several thousand files i need to feed asterisk, hoping to copy it to the outgoing directory all at 1 time. |

Yes,
Create them with a future time and date and they will only be acted upon
when the proper time comes.

That might work.
I'll give that a shot.

what's a good way to apply a future date to thousands of files?

And generally, you need to create them on the same filesystem, because
the method used for reading files out of that directory is especially
aggressive. If you copy cross-filesystems, the date/time is the last thing
copied, which could happen too late. Generally, it's a good idea to create
files in /var/tmp, then move them to the /var/spool/asterisk/outgoing
directory, since the move occurs in a single step.

I do it within the script that creates the file(s):
# Touch file once to set date/time stamp to now
/bin/touch /usr/local/bin/$1.out.call
# Touch file again with a 150 second future date
/bin/touch -r /usr/local/bin/$1.out.call -F 150 /usr/local/bin/$1.out.call

I do it via FTP from another box. I like my switch to be a switch
and not have to bother with all these extra functions/processes. The
proof is in the stability.

There was a similar post recently and I wonder if using future time stamps would
work well although I guess it depends on what you're doing specifically.
In other words, if all you're doing is calling a number and playing a
pre-recorded message for instance, that may be doable as you could at least
estimate the average time it takes to dial and complete one of those calls and
create your originate files at x intervals in timestamps.
Otherwise for something more complex where the amount of time each call can take
varies much, I would see some kind of queuing system being useful where the
calls are tracked and originate files are produced as (specified) resources allow.
