Greetings list,

I've been playing around with queues on an old asterisk 1.2 box at a customer's site. They want to be able to add really simple queue announcements every minute, along the following lines:
"sorry for the delay, someone will be with you shortly".

Looking at the announce options in queues.conf, it seems to be possible to announce queue position and/or hold time, but not a simple announcement. I suppose I could, theoretically, erase all the queue-youarenext, queue-callswaiting, etc. voice files, but that seems rather excessive to achieve something so simple.

Any thoughts/suggestions gratefully appreciated.

Regards,

Chris

I believe you'll need to migrate them to 1.4.

Works fine for me on 1.2.24 ...

from queues.conf:-

periodic-announce = Custom/periodic-fxqueue01
periodic-announce-frequency=90

plays a brief "sorry,etc, press any key to leave a message or continue
to hold for next available etc, etc"

regards,

Drew

Sorry, I thought periodic announcements were a 1.4 thing.
