[cisco-voip] Invoking An Application from Within IPCC

[Bill Riley]

UCCX / IPCC won't run an application itself, you may be able to get creative
with an HTTP post step and interface with a website.

 

What I would suggest is to not use IPCC to solve this problem. The problem
identified was that the e-mail server went down. If e-mail services are that
critical stand up two e-mail servers, which you would have to do for your
backup e-mail script to work anyway, and put a load balancer in front of
them. Have IPCC point to the load balancer VIP for e-mail and have the load
balancer check SMTP connectivity.

Okay, the old guy is back with a question on his old version of IPCC 4.x.
Forgive us for we do not have the money to upgrade!

Is it possible to invoke an executable from within IPCC and send it a
command string.  What I want to do is execute a little applet called
sendEmail and pass it all the necessary info to send out the eMail.  The
reason being that - as far as I can determine - you can only configure one
eMail server in this version of IPCC.  However, we had the situation where
the eMail server went down and using the send eMail command from within the
script didn't work because - as previously stated - the server was down.
However, if I can invoke the applet sendEmail from within IPCC, I can
configure the script to send eMail via two (2) different servers and, thus,
if one is down, the other is not likely to be.

Or possibly a way to send to two (2) different eMail servers from directly
within the execution of the script itself.

Here is a typical string for sendEMail:
SendEMail -f jreed at cmnm.org -t jreed at cmnm.org -s smtp.cmnm.org:25 -xp
swiftnews -u "eMail Subject Goes Here" -m "eMail Body Goes Here"

Thanks in advance for any advice and my apologies for bring up old
memories...
