I am trying to keep from installing compilers and all the compiler support crap on my production servers. Much the same way as I keep X or multimedia crap off -- I figure they're a waste of space and can only add complication when not needed. Perl modules were my pain in the ass -- As far as I have been able to determine (which includes hanging around freenode's #perl for a few days asking questions and lurking), there is no nice way to have CPAN build you a tarball of GroovyProg::Foo (and tarballs of all dependencies). "make dist" makes the modules you see in CPAN, not a binary that you can just insert into a working system. What follows is my copy-n-paste shell script. You run Perl -MCPAN -e 'look GroovyProg::Foo' and then run this script in the directory you find yourself in. It has no error checking, but I do a "make test" and when I copy-n-paste this script, I do it in two stages... everything up to and including the "make test" and, if that passes, the rest of it. The resultant module package can be successfully installed and merges nicely into the "site-perl" directory, and it also behaves itself and ADDS itself to perllocal.pod. Slackware doesn't allow removal scripts (I wish it did) -- I would have had the removal script remove the module from the perllocal.pod file, otherwise. I welcome any critique or "why didn't you just do this?" type of responses. I was baffled that something like this didn't exist already (and perhaps it does but I was just too dense to know it). Oh -- Make sure you don't have a "/distroot" directory with anything important in it. :-) -A. #---8<--- Stage One ---8<--- rm -rf /distroot mkdir -p /distroot/usr mkdir -p /distroot/install perl Makefile.PL SITEPREFIX=/distroot/usr make test #--->8--- enO egatS --->8--- #---8<--- Stage Two ---8<--- make install mv /distroot/usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.0/i486-linux/perllocal.pod \ /distroot/install/perllocal.pod.append cat << EOF > /distroot/install/doinst.sh #!/bin/sh echo cat install/perllocal.pod.append >> \ usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.0/i486-linux/perllocal.pod EOF PKGNAME=`pwd | sed -e 's/.*\///'` ( cd /distroot ; makepkg -l y -c n ~/packages/$PKGNAME-i386-1.tgz ) rm -rf /distroot #--->8--- owT egatS --->8--- From akohlsmith-pm at benshaw.com Tue May 11 14:36:23 2004 From: akohlsmith-pm at benshaw.com (Andrew Kohlsmith) Date: Mon Aug 2 21:31:35 2004 Subject: [kw-pm] Jabber, Asterisk and Net::Jabber Fun Message-ID: <200405111536.23722.akohlsmith-pm@benshaw.com> I tend to play music loud when I'm in my living room with the laptop on my lap. I usually can't hear the phone ring, or if I am watching TV or otherwise near somewhere where a screen exists, I don't like to get up to see who's calling or dig around for the cordless phone, only to find the battery's dead anyway and make the mad dash to the kitchen phone. I also don't have a phone line at home. All my calls are through Asterisk and VOIP, which leads to some interesting convergence. :-) I finally got around to making a little utility I've been wanting for a while now: something which pops up and lets me know who's calling so I can decide whether to get my lazy butt up and answer it, or if I should just leave it ring. Enter astbot.pl. At 97 lines it's just a wee thing, but it does one thing and one thing well: notifies me of who's calling. Features: - Stays out of sight in my Jabber Roster until a call comes in - Puts the CID information in its online status message (I have my Jabber client, Psi, pop up whenever someone comes online) (Doing it this way doesn't LOG the caller ID info in my jabber client) - Written in Perl (natch.) - Tries to format the incoming phone number into something intelligible. Basically I have Psi set to do MSN-style popups whenever a contact comes online. The window that comes up is unobtrusive and hangs around for about 5 seconds before disappearing again. When a call comes in, Asterisk runs the script which makes the bot come online (with the CID info in its status message) then drop off again. That's it. http://www.mixdown.ca/~andrew/astbot Net::Jabber really is quite spectacular. You could write a really amazing remote control bot with this.

Years ago I wanted to build a video MUX that would just overlay text over whatever I was watching on TV so I could have status displays (dryer's finished, doorbell, phone, etc.). Piece of cake to do but I never got around to it. This is just the first stage I suppose. :-) > How much work was it to set up asterix at work? What sort of hardware do > you need on your end, for the phone? Asterisk is pretty easy to set up. If you are after VOIP-only then no hardware is needed, although it's strongly recommended to have some form of Zaptel hardware to provide timing. At home I have a 3-port FXS card (FXS = port you plug telephones in to, FXO = port you plug phone lines in to) -- My cordless phone, kitchen phone and bedroom phone plug in to those three ports. I have no phone lines at all. The TDM card (generic name is TDMxyP, where x = # of FXS ports and y = # of FXO ports, to a combined max of 4) is Digium's modular and relatively inexpensive gateway card. Digium is the company sponsoring Asterisk and employing Mark Spencer, who I believe is the creator of Asterisk. If you just need something to plug a phone in to, I have heard amazing things about their IAXy module. It's basically a box with an FXS port and an ethernet port; it converts any phone/modem/fax you plug into it into an VOIP device using Asterisk's own IAX2 protocol. IAX2 is a VOIP protocol which in my opinion kicks ass *and* chews bubblegum. It uses a single UDP port, can handle trunking (putting multiple conversations into a single packet to save packet overhead), is NAT friendly and supports extensions such as video. SIP is the current "leader" for VOIP protocols, succeeding h.323, but compared to IAX2 they're crap. Unfortunately IAX is Asterisk-specific, although it is open-standard and license-free. Anyway after you have Asterisk up and running you will likely want to be saving money on long distance. Sign up with a VOIP provider such as Nufone or Voicepulse or any of the others out there and start rocking. IIRC Voicepulse, iconnecthere and a number of others have ~$10-20/mo unlimited calling plans for North America. Nufone is run by Jeremy McNamara whos entire VOIP company runs Asterisk. Both Nufone and Voicepulse support IAX2 for VOIP, which is why I recommend them. Seriously though once you have your own Asterisk box up and running you can do some seriously cool shit with your phones. Asterisk has its own voicemail, agent queueing and conferencing. As I said, I have three FXS ports in my Asterisk box -- I can take three simultaneous calls; I can have certain phones ring only for certain numbers and/or certain times of the day... seriously cool stuff that I haven't even begun to scratch the surface on. I figure the multiple line features will come in handy when my daughter gets a little older. :-) Asterisk also supports ADSI -- you know those Bell screen phones? You can write applications for them to take advantage of the soft buttons and print information to the screen. The voicemail application currently makes use of ADSI. Anything Asterisk doesn't currently do you can make it do through writing applications (everything is an application module... dialing, call parking, music on hold, transfer, voicemail, DISA, even playing things like busy tones or text-to-speech through Festival) -- If you make a new channel technology you can write a channel module for it so Asterisk can use it. And if you just want to tie your phones in to your business logic there's AGI and EAGI -- (Extended) Application Gateway Interface. The main difference is that EAGI can manipulate the audio stream, while AGI is more of a routing/dialplan manipulation thing. And yes. Asterisk::AGI exists. :-) At work I've got two Asterisk boxes -- one at the office and one at a colocate facility with a lot more lines. We're moving to a new building next month and I only have one phone line there (for the security system and for an emergency phone) -- everything else terminates at a PRI at the colocate and is routed to us over an SDSL link. The in-office Asterisk box has a single-port T1 card in it to connect to our phone system (since we like the fancy phones), and the colocate Asterisk box has a quad-port T1 card in it. One port to Bell Canada for our POTS lines (local dialling), another to a channel bank so we can have sales guys dial in securely, and the other two for expansion, probably to a channel bank to the colocation so they can take advantage of VOIP. Seriously cool stuff. Of course, we are using Asterisk to ultimately control our phone bill -- I've negotiated some pricing with some VOIP providers (main and backup) which should get us calls in the sub-$0.03/min anywhere in North America, any time of the day. Combined with the ability to route the bulk of our bill -- calls to our parent company in Pittsburgh, PA -- over VOIP entirely and skip the phone bill, we should see some serious savings. Sorry that this sounds like an ad -- I'm just really pumped about this technology. Considering the big incumbents are all moving to packet-based networks and using VOIP internally this is just an extension of that, using open standards and OSS.

I have various backup clients that connect to my system to backup, whenever this happens a log entry is generated. What I want is to be able to detect that one of the clients has not called in during some relevant time period. Any ideas?
