Because of a question on the irc channel I was kind of challenged. I wrote an asterisk script that maximize the number of inbound calls from the same phone within a certain time frame. With some adjustments:
- adding a dir to the system /var/spool/asterisk/inbound_count
- routing inbound channel into proper queue or other destination
- adjusting the number of attemps and the timeframe
- adjusting GMT-1 to your own situation
the script can be used. It is kind of quick and dirty but it is working and solid and stable as a rock. In the cdr database one can find the relevant log info.
I hope it is usefull for someone .
