I think Growl is a pretty awesome little notification app, I use it for absolutely everything and thought I would cook up a simple way for anyone to relay growl messages to their nodes – even from remote events.
What you need :
- A Local web server (with PHP of course)
- Remote machine must have curl (unless you are good with javascript)
Download the class.growl.php from google code and toss it in your web root. Create a new file called growler.php or growlnotify.php. Within it you can paste the following :
Set your webserver to listen on some obscure port and forward it through your router. You can now use curl to post messages from a remote location to all of the nodes you specified in the associative array above as such :
curl -d “message=some message `date`” http://your-web-server-ip:port/filename.php
This is a simplified explanation how I wrote Growl notifications for Asteristickies.
Have fun.
Joe Roper has written a spectacular article (and script) for those looking to beef up their Asterisk boxes with a powerful fax server. HylaFax is by no means new – but the simplicity of configuration and minimal effort required now to get an enterprise class fax service in minutes is ground breaking.
I just set it up in less than ten minutes and am sending + receiving faxes over VoiP (your mileage may vary) over my IPKall extension! Heres proof :
Once again Nerd Vittles has created another kick ass script that needs to be shared. I have written of earlier versions of this software however these guys have also added a nice and simple web panel as well.
I have re-packaged the tar file here since for some reason TB 2.6 doesn’t seem to like when I upload .tgz file extensions.
This feature is so handy – not just for wake-up notifications but also as a friendly reminder to do something or call someone.
I encourage you to read the authors post here – it will help you with installation and give you a much better description.
