Re: [hylafax-users] Modem Initialization Question

["Greg Youngers" <Greg.Youngers@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hello Bodo,

I believe we may have been successful. Both servers are in time sync.

I modified the script which queries CallManager - using " date +'%s' "
to write the current system time to a variable DISCO_TIME when it
starts.

date +'%s'

It's nice since it is in the same format as the Cisco dateTimeDisconnect
field.  Then the query can select the first call where
dateTimeDisconnect is <= DISCO_TIME, in addition to original criteria.

I was able to place a valid fax call and then a simulated errant call to
test the query and it did return the faxed-to DID.

I appreciate your experience and assistance.  I guess there is always
more than one way to skin a cat...


Thanks,
Greg

Hello Greg,

normally the clocks should be in sync, if the servers are running
permanently.
If you switch off a server or stop ntpd for some time allowing the
clocks do develop a difference it will take some time to re-synchronize
the clocks.

To avoid possible clock differences you can do something on the DB
server to get the time stamp from the same system clock.
You could run a program remotely to get the current time from the DB
server or you could create a DB record (in a different table or DB) on
the same server which will used for the time comparison after your
waiting time.
