Debugging Asterisk AGI with PHPAGI and Festival

Mon, 10 Mar 2008 19:00:00 GMT
Programming the Asterisk open source PBX via the Asterisk Gateway Interface (AGI) is a fun but exasperating exercise for the telephony programmer. It is fun since it can make a telephone dance, but frustrating because errors and debugging information can be difficult to catch since status information arrives on multiple channels: audible, Asterisk console, and STDERR. You can make the process of debugging a bit easier with the assistance of PHPAGI and Festival.

Change voice in festival

I installed festival under /opt/TTS so presume that precedes in the following unless noted otherwise. I examined festival/lib/siteinit.scm and found the default voice was: voice_cmu_us_awb_arctic_hts (which I did not include with the install) which doesn't matter because the lin is commented...

Festival halting

I finally got festival text 2 speech to work. I followed a set of instructions but had to make edits to set it up to work (albeit a few warnings). At the end I tried using quit with double quotes inside parentheses and without but could not stop the program (i.e. comes back with "festival>"). ...

NAME

       astman -- a client to asterisk's manager interface

SYNOPSIS

       astman hostname

DESCRIPTION

       astman This program is a full-screen (terminal) client for Asterisk's manager interface.

OPTIONS

       hostname

       The host name or IP address to connect to (TCP port 5038). If astman fails to connect it will exit immidiately.

USAGE

       If  astman  has	successfully  cunnected to the manager port it will prompt the user for a username and a secret (password) for the manager
       interface on the remote Asterisk manager interface. It will then be able to report existing channels (calls). You will then be able to  re-
       direct calls to or terminate them.

SEE ALSO

       asterisk(8)

       http://www.voip-info.org/wiki-Asterisk+astman

BUGS

       The hostname does not default to localhost.

       Impossible to use a port other than 5038.

       The username and password cannot be defined from the command-line.

       I mean, what's the point in a man page if the syntax is so simple?
