NAME

       vboxtcl - tcl commands for vboxgetty

CONTENT

       With vbox version 2.0, tcl can be used as a script language to act on incoming calls.

       Incoming calls are still taken by vboxgetty, but further actions are made by the tcl script.

VARIABLES

       These are additional variables supplied by vboxgetty.

       vbox_var_bindir
              directory with vbox commands.

       vbox_var_savename
              name for this message to save. The name is constructed from time and process id. It's a good idea to use this name, but you can also
              use a different name.

       vbox_var_rectime
              maximum seconds to record.

       vbox_msg_beep
              filename with full path of the message to play as beep (/var/spool/vbox/<user>/messages/beep.msg).

       vbox_msg_timeout
              filename with full path of the message to play after a timeout (/var/spool/vbox/<user>/messages/timeout.msg).

              CALLERID of current caller. If unknown, this is "0".

              name of the user that runs this vboxgetty.

       vbox_user_home
              home directory of the user that runs this vboxgetty.

       vbox_flag_standard
              this is TRUE if the script should play the standard message, and FALSE if the script should not.

       vbox_flag_beep
              this is TRUE if the script should play the beep message, and FALSE if the script should not.

       vbox_flag_timeout
              this is TRUE if the script should play the timeout message, and FALSE if the script should not.

FUNCTIONS

       vboxgetty also provides some additional functions to the user.

       Return Codes
              Most functions will use these return codes:

              ERROR  An error occurred.

              HANGUP The connection was ended. Script should end now.

              OK     The whole message was played, nothing occurred.

              Any other error code is a touchtone sequence, that was detected during playing the message.

       vbox_breaklist <add|rem> <sequence> [...]
              With this command you can control which touchtone sequences vboxgetty will recognize.

              Touchtone sequences have the format *NUMBER#, where NUMBER is a sequence of the characters 0-9 and A-D. Even single numbers must  be
              given in the format *NUMBER#. Vboxgetty detects if the caller gives a number as a single digit or as a part of a sequence.

              add <sequence> [...]
                     Add a touchtone sequence to breaklist. You can add up to 8 sequences at one time.

              rem <sequence> [...]
                     Remove  a  touchtone  sequence  from  breaklist.  You can remove up to 8 sequences at one time. You can use all to remove all
                     sequences.

       vbox_put_message <message>
              Play a message and returns an error code depending on the reason to stop playing. Default return codes.

              message
                     full name of the message file (with path).

       vbox_get_message <savename> <timelimit>
              Records a message. Default return codes. Options are:

              savename
                     full name of the file for saving the message.

              timelimit
                     maximum time to record the message.

       vbox_wait <seconds>
              Waits for several seconds for an input from caller. Default return codes.  Options are:

              seconds
                     time to wait.

       vbox_init_touchtones
              Clears vboxgetty touchtone sequence. Normal way is to append all new touchtones to the sequence, the sequence is only cleared when a
              "*" touchtone is received.

       vbox_pause <ms>
              waits a specific number of milliseconds.

              ms     number of milliseconds to wait.

       vbox_get_nr_new_messages <messagebox>
              Return the number of new messages in the directory.

              messagebox
                     the directory to scan

       vbox_get_nr_all_messages <messagebox>
              Return the number of messages in the directory.

              messagebox
