#! /bin/sh # Written by Alexis de Lattre # Example of wrapper for get_cid_name.py which makes sure that the # script doesn't take too much time to execute # Limiting the execution time of get_cid_name.py is important because # the script is designed to be executed at the beginning of each # incoming phone call... and if the script get stucks, the phone call # will also get stucks and you will miss the call ! # For Debian Lenny and Ubuntu Lucid, you need to install the package "timeout" # For Ubuntu >= Maverick and Debian >= Squeeze, the "timeout" command is shipped # in the "coreutils" package # The first argument of the "timeout" command is the maximum execution time # In this example, we chose 2 seconds. Note that geolocalisation takes about # 1 second on an small machine ; so if you enable the --geoloc option, # don't put a 1 sec timeout ! # To test this script manually (i.e. outside of Asterisk), run : # echo "agi_callerid:0141981242"|get_cid_name_timeout.sh # where 0141981242 is a phone number that could be presented by the calling party timeout 2s /usr/local/bin/get_cid_name.py --server openerp.mycompany.com --database erp_prod --user-id 12 --password "thepasswd" --geoloc --geoloc-country "FR" --geoloc-lang "fr"
