msntab is the phone call routing table for ivam2. For each incoming call the first matching line in the file is used, all others are ignored. Each line consists of six fields: an expression for matching the local phone number, an expression for matching the remote phone number, a day specification, a time specification, an option list and an action filed, specifying an executable file with its arguments which is run for a matching call. If no line matches a call, the call is ignored.
The phone numbers are matched by the following way: if the
first character of the matching expression is not a tilde, the
whole expression is matched using an extended version of POSIX
shell globbing based on
The day specification is a comma separated list of the week days "SUN", "MON", "TUE", "WED", "THU", "FRI", "SAT". It also may be specified as "WORK" or "WEEKEND" to match work days or weekend days, respectively.
The time specification is a comma separated list of time ranges in the format "HH:MM".
The option field consists of a comma separated list of options. The following options are defined: "rings=n" specifies after how many rings a call is accepted. "pipehack" enables the so-called pipe hack. This may improve latency for clients that support it. This option will pass the output side of the STDOUT pipe back to the client process as file descriptor 255. The client may flush this pipe by reading from it. This is hack, but a useful hack. "defaults" is a NOOP, use it if you don't want to set any special options.
The action field should be the executable file name of the telephony application to run for an incoming call. Two special values are allowed: @ignore will ignore the call, @hangup will hangup the call immediately after accepting it.
ivam2 comes with four ready-to-use telephony applications:
