[arm-allstar] #includeifexist does it work?

[Doug Crompton]

Barry,

 Yes it works in fact I used it in a method to dynamically change courtesy
tones for someone awhile back. Instead of changing the main file the
include file was changed and then rpt.conf was reloaded. This is important
because any changes would not be registered until you reload. Also it is
important to note that in general the last definition is the one that
sticks. So if you defined something in rpt.conf and then redefined it in
the include file that would be the one that is in effect.

So if you dynamically wanted to change something you would do it in a
script... roughly this way....

#!/bin/bash

echo "some-command" > /etc/asterisk/custom/rpt.conf

​/usr/bin/asterisk -rx "rpt reload"

Of course this could be an entire file of commands instead of echoing a
single command -

cp my-commands /etc/asterisk/custom/rpt.conf

I hope that answers your question.
