RE: TS - blackberry small web page for ACK

[d.tom.schmitt (at) L-3com.com]

I still need some guidance on this one!

Is there a way to (from the command line) ACK a device?

I can use the 'bb' command to DISABLE/ENABLE a device from the command
line but not ACK, that I know of.

 

I would like to ACK an event as someone responds to a call out.

I am not able to setup the Xymon server to receive email so that is not
an option.

But using Asterisk (PiaF), I can create an out bound voice call and
prompt the person for the OK to ACK.

Then the Asterisk machine would run the command line program to ACK the
device.

 

Thanks,

Subject: TS - blackberry small web page for ACK

 

I have an urgent requirement to be able to create a small web page for
display on the blackberry.

 

OK SOLUTION (if I can get it to work):

I tried to use bb-ack.cgi but the documentation is not straight forward.

I see that it has "Ack" as a hidden value for ACTION.

FORM METHOD=GET and ACTION="&SCRIPT_NAME"

Where does script_name get set to on a correct run?

 

BETTER SOLUTION:

I can create a simple small web page and pass the link to the blackberry
to the person on-call.

But I need to have a command line equivalent to the bb-ack.cgi to ACK
the outage and supply the following variables.

                Same items on the bb-ack.cgi man page:

                                bb-ack.cgi

ACTION=action

NUMBER=acknum

DELAY=validity

MESSAGE=text

                I have not found the correct command.

 

I can DISABLE/ENABLE the device easily from 'bb' but I need to make an
easy way to acknowledge 

the event from a smart phone (blackberry).

 

Thanks,
