SYNOPSIS
isdntel |
[-a
aliasfile]
[-d
spooldir]
[-p
playcommand]
[-t
timeout] |
DESCRIPTION
isdntel is used to provide an “answering machine”
functionality for incoming telephone voice messages.
The following options are supported:
-
-
- -a
- Use aliasfile as the pathname for an
aliasfile containing aliases for phone numbers. The default path is
/etc/isdn/isdntel.alias. The format of an alias entry is
the number string followed by one or more spaces or tabs. The rest of the
line is taken as the alias string. Comments are introduced by a leading
blank, tab or “#” character.
-
-
- -d
- Use spooldir as the directory where
the incoming voice messages are stored by the “answ” script
called by isdnd(8). This
defaults to the directory /var/isdn. The format of a
voice message filename is:
YYMMDDhhmmss-dest_number-source_number-length_in_secs
-
-
- -p
- Use playcommand as the command string
to execute for playing a voice message to some audio output facility. The
characters %s are replaced by the currently selected
filename. The default string is cat %s |
alaw2ulaw >/dev/audio
-
-
- -t
- The value for timeout specifies the
time in seconds the program rereads the spool directory when there is no
keyboard activity.
The screen output should be obvious. If in doubt, consult the source.
