VM Notify with multiple phone numbers - SOLUTION HERE
Submitted by m2oore on Mon, 07/30/2007 - 10:36am.
Since starting to use Trixbox our company has needed a way to port over a feature from our previous PBX system. That capability was to allow the PBX to call a list of numbers after a voicemail was left. We used this feature primarily for an After Hours paging system.
Anyway, looking around the forums and google I couldn't find what I needed until I found this link: http://www.voip-info.org/wiki/view/Asterisk+Voicemail+Notify+for+...
It had what I needed with modifications. Posted below is the instructions and code on those modifications.
Create a File in folder /etc/ VMNotify.sh - Paste Code below.
Make sure you make VMNotify.sh executable: chmod +x /etc/VMNotify.sh
VMBox="5100" #Enter Extension/Voice Mail Box Here
CALLLIST=("1805XXXXXXX" "1805XXXXXXX") #Enter Phone Numbers to call
CallTimes=2 #How many times to call Each number Before going to next.
CallMinutes=5 #How many minutes between each call
CallFinal=1 #How many times to call calllist before quiting. Enter 0 for unlimited
OutboundChannel="SIP/SipTrunk/" #The Trunk to outdial from
#*************Do Not Change Below Variables******************
LOCKFILE=/tmp/outdial.lock
MESSAGEFILE=/var/spool/asterisk/voicemail/default/${VMBox}/INBOX/msg0000.txt
CALLFILE=/tmp/outdial.call

#************************************************************
if [ -f $LOCKFILE ];
then
echo -f $LOCKFILE

exit 0
fi
touch $LOCKFILE
function callgroup {
for (( i = 0; i < Limit; i++ ))
do
for (( j = 0; j < CallTimes; j++ ))
do
if [ -f $MESSAGEFILE ];
then
echo $MESSAGEFILE exists!
echo calling ${CALLLIST[$i]}
echo Channel: ${OutboundChannel}${CALLLIST[$i]} >> $CALLFILE
echo "CallerID: After Hours
echo MaxRetries: 0 >> $CALLFILE
echo RetryTime: 60 >> $CALLFILE
echo WaitTime: 30 >> $CALLFILE
echo Context: from-internal >> $CALLFILE
echo Extension: 5682 >> $CALLFILE

chmod 664 $CALLFILE

rm -f $LOCKFILE
exit

while [ $x -lt $CallFinal ]
do
if [ $CallFinal -eq 0 ];
then

fi

done
rm -f $LOCKFILE
--------------------------------------
edit file /etc/crontab
This will run VMNotify.sh every 5 minutes
paste this line:
0,5,10,15,20,25,30,35,40,45,50,55 * * * * root /etc/VMNotify.sh
--------------------------------------
Edit extensions_custom.conf
Add this chunk of text to file. I just placed it at bottom of file.
Make sure to replace the 5100 value with the Voicemail/Entension you want monitored.

$300 bounty to work with 1.4

If anyone can get this working with 1.4, I have a $300 bounty on it.
Thank!

Thanks for your sharing.
For me, it might not be a better solution. Because it would bind the extension and notified phone number by the script, that is not enough flexible.
So I prefer this function is able to be enable/disable and input/change the phone number I wanted through a feature code.
Until yesterday I have done with this, I posted the detail on my blog site and the Asterisk version I'm running is 1.4.15 .
The URL is http://itblog.itview.com.tw/index.php?load=read&id=153
BTW, the crontab in Linux has a shortly grammar if the job would like to be performed per 5 mins. Refer to the following:
*/5 * * * * root /etc/VMNotify.sh

Create a file as above with this in and you may have to change the OutboundChannel and you may have to include a 9 or 0 for a line depending on the setup.
You will also have to run a cron job for EACH of the extension you want to notify which would need additional scripts with each ext as I understand it, I can not test it.

Not accepting mailbox number or password
Tue, 06/24/2008 - 6:35am
I copied and pasted your script and it is working. When I answer my cell phone I hear " comdian mail, mailbox number..... password". No matter what I enter the system replies 'wrong password". The voicemail works correctly if I dial *98 directly from this extension.
The only things I changed:
VMBox="6601" #Enter Extension/Voice Mail Box Here
CALLLIST=("1234567890" "1234567899") #Enter Phone Numbers to call
CallTimes=1 #How many times to call Each number Before going to next.
CallMinutes=1 #How many minutes between each call
CallFinal=1 #How many times to call calllist before quiting. Enter 0 for unlimited
OutboundChannel="SIP/My Sip/" #The Trunk to outdial from
I did not add anything to the extensions_custome.conf file.
script permissions
Tue, 07/22/2008 - 2:53pm
I've added the script, per m2oore's direction at the top of the thread. I ran the chmod command as specified. If I try to run the vmnotify.sh script from the command prompt, it starts, and I get the following output:

chown: 'asterisk:asterisk': invalid user
moving /tmp/outdial.call to /var/spool/asterisk/outgoing
Then, it will try again at the specified interval. I have experimented with changing the CALLUSER= line to say root, and I get further through the script, but then run into permissions issues creating the outdial.call in tmp. I know it's not good form to run the script as root, so I'd rather go back to running as asterisk. Any suggestions on the 'invalid user' message?
Thanks!
