NAME¶

/etc/isdn/callerid.conf - config file for isdnlog numbers and scripts

FORMAT¶

This file has the format described in isdnformat(5). It must be owned by root, and only root may have write access. Every user can create his private telephone book as ~/.isdn with the same file format.

VARIABLES SECTION¶

Like in isdn.conf, this file has an optional [VARIABLES] section. All variable names must be uppercase. Warning: variables in callerid.conf will override variables in isdn.conf, and variables in ~/.isdn will override variables in both files. First all variables are read, then they are substituted, so a variable defined in ~/.isdn can be used in isdn.conf. This might be a security hole. However, if programs are to be run as root, these files (and the program) cannot be writeable for non-root users.

Using variables: if a reference to a non existing variable is used, isdnrep and isdnlog will give warning messages, and use the variable name (e.g if $FRED isn't set, isdnlog will use "$FRED"). The dollar sign can be backslashed if a real dollar sign is needed instead of variable substitution (e.g. \$PATH will be "$PATH").

NUMBER and MSN¶

In [NUMBER] sections, you can supply information for the outer world, in [MSN] sections; you can supply information about your msns. The format is the same:

NUMBER=xxxx

Set the telephone number. This should be your msn or the telephone number with area code (with or without areprefix, countrycode and countryprefix)

SI=x

Service indicator. Isdnlog knows these service indicators:

1   speech (telephone, fax g3, modem etc.)
2   restricted digital information
3   unrestricted digital information with tones/announcements
4   video
7   unrestricted digital information (hdlc, x.75 etc.)

Alias=xxxx

Supply a name as alias (e.g. ALIAS=Fred's Number)

ZONE=xxx

Only useful with remote numbers: billing zone for connections to this number:

0   internal connection in your s0 bus (no charge)
1   city area
2   region 50
3   region 200
4   far region
5   the same as 1

INTERFACE=xxx

Isdn network interface. This information is required with the "-hx" / hangup="value" option.

START

You can define a subsection here. The whole section is ignored unless you gave the "-S" / start=yes option. Each subsection should have the name [FLAG]. It may hold these values:
