Sorry for my bad english,
I've developed a web interface for one of our customers, that allow them
to create lists of telephone numbers, (even from excel files), and then
a couple of scripts, one of them running on the background:
Script 1: Reads the file containing the telephone numbers and then
creates .call files for each number, and then put all the .call files on
a temp directory. You can start this process at any time. Even from a
cron job.
Script 2: Every specific time checks the temp directory, and if it
founds .call files, then it will copy the .call files to the outgoing
asterisk directory, but only allowing, for example 5 .calls at the time.
That way the asterisk only will let go 5 calls at the time. This script
must be running on the background.
This is script 2:
#!/bin/bash
INTERVALO=10
tmp=/tmp/calls #directory containing the .calls files
limite_canales=5 #number of simultaneus calls
asterisk=/var/spool/asterisk/outgoing
logger=/var/log/llamadas.log
fecha=`date`
function Generar_llamada {
outgoing=`ls -1 $asterisk | wc -l`
if [ "$outgoing" -eq "0" ] ; then
echo "`date` No existen llamadas en este momento..
podemos incluir $limite_canales llamadas!!" >> $logger
ls -1 $tmp > /tmp/lista_llamadas_totales
tail -n $limite_canales /tmp/lista_llamadas_totales >
/tmp/lista_llamadas
cat /tmp/lista_llamadas | while read line
do
mv $tmp/${line} $asterisk
done
fi
if [ "$outgoing" -gt "0" ] && [ "$outgoing" -lt
"$limite_canales" ] ; then
let "extras=$limite_canales-$outgoing"
echo "`date` Existen $outgoing llamadas en curso..
podemos incluir $extras llamadas" >> $logger
ls -1 $tmp > /tmp/lista_llamadas_totales
tail -n $extras /tmp/lista_llamadas_totales >
/tmp/lista_llamadas
cat /tmp/lista_llamadas | while read line
do
mv $tmp/${line} $asterisk
echo "`date` Archivo $line fue movido a
$asterisk" >> $logger
done
fi
if [ "$outgoing" -ge "$limite_canales" ] ; then
echo "`date` No existen llamadas Disponibles en este
momento.. favor de intentar mas tarde!!" >> $logger
fi
}
while : ; do
call_files=`ls -1 $tmp | wc -l`
if [ "$call_files" -gt "0" ] ; then
echo "`date` Comenzando con el procedimiento de
generacion de llamadas..." >> $logger
Generar_llamada
else
echo "`date` No existen cambios en el directorio $tmp"
>> $logger
echo "`date` A dormir por $INTERVALO segundos" >> $logger
fi
sleep $INTERVALO
done
Hope it helps!

Looks like user interface is not a concern - if they are thinking of
FTP text files. In this case, a simple script to kick off some call
files should suffice. Won't take a week. (Search for call file.) But
having to deal with answering machines is always tricky for any
automation.

If they want a decent interface to see the next "caller" before calling,
you might want to have a database that reads in all the numbers, then
users that grab the next "non-checked" number from the database. This
also gives you the option of leaving notes with that call (such as
calling back, etc). Then when ready, press the "call" button which
creates a call file.
