aquiring caller id for use in a script

[Sebastian Bremicker]

Hi!

I must admit my Perl skills are very low. I tried to implement a Caller-Indicator via Samba Messages, but CVM does not tell me about the Caller-ID in a way I can process it. I used your Quick Start thing from the man page:

#!/usr/bin/perl
use CAPI::CVM;
$v = new CAPI::CVM;
$v->add_handler('NO_CARRIER', 'endh', sub { $v->stop; exit(0); });
local $SIG{ALRM} = sub { $v->stop; };
$v->enable_events;
my ($callernr, $callednr) = $v->wait_for_ring;
system ("echo $callernr >/tmp/numbertest");
$v->play_and_wait('/var/spool/uucp/abvonsebastian.711');
$v->shutdown;

/tmp/numbertest only shows an empty newline, so I didn't have to play around with samba any more, usually there would be a system("/usr/bin/isdn2samba cerebrum $callernr $callednr") where cerebrum is the target host for the message. This works, but only without displaying the numbers.

Is there an easy way to get content for the 2 variables?

Thank you

Sebastian

Hi!

Soon after the postint I switched to asterisk which gives me a caller ID to process with.

Thanks anyway
