Monitor Trunk Failures, any scripts?
So i see this cool new, monitor trunk failures option under Trunks. This is great, my only question is that if the Trunk fails i would like it to use a different Trunk right away. How can this be done? I am not sure if just setting "Primary" and "Secondary" trunks under outbound routes does the trick.
Something tells me if the trunk fails this feature is what i need. If it is, does anyone know an AGI script which will allow me to automatically place the call under a different Trunk? The idea is create ultimate redundancy and not have a failed call (unless of course they dial the wrong number)

if the trunk fails for
if the trunk fails for reasons such as CHANUAVAIL or CONGESTION, then the nest trunk is always tried. This assumes trunk providers are sending back the correct signaling though, as not all do. If the call fails because of BUSY it will not try the next trunk. The script is simply run if a failure mode is detected and upon returning it continues as always. A failure is considered anything that is not BUSY, NOANSWER, or CANCEL.

This would work for sip/iax
This would work for sip/iax trunks but not zap since these channels are considered answered once handed over to the modem card (ex tdm400).
first off - not all zap
first off - not all zap trunks act as POTS lines do. If it is a PRI it is not answered until signaled answered. However - it will work fine with a zap trunk that is not configured properly, as it should return with a CHANUNAVAIL. But one of the purposes for such a monitor is to monitor failing VoIP trunks such as SIP/IAX since they are the ones that tend to give more problems.

could you give some examples
could you give some examples of when this would kick into effect? i understand not BUSY, NoANSWER, CANCEL,Chanunavail or congestion, so is failure just "FAIL"? also any scripts you know or would like to share, curious what kind of failover measure scripts people have come up with for "FAIL" (assuming thats the command which would trigger it)
Can AGI script for trunk
Can AGI script for trunk failures be written in PHP as long as hash bang is correct?
Do AGI scripts all have to have the AGI extension? Or could it have a PHP extension?
How do I test my Monitor Trunk Failures script while my trunk is still up?
Does Monitor Trunk Failures require a cron for it to be activated?
Any pointers would be appreciated.
Thanks
