Description

hi everyone we build asterisk appliances using freepbx as the gui with great success over 3 years now. in the last couple of month we see great demand for flash based appliances (SSD or DOM) but they are limited to 4-8-16 gigs and when installed in an highly densed offices they offer very small space left for recordings to be kept. sometimes just a few days. even if we use mp3 files (8Khz 8bit mono) it is just a matter of few days for the system to crash becuase of no more space left on the hard drives. this really bugs us. i just couldn't find a bash script to delete the oldest files and make the system like a security digial video recorder so the oldest recordings get deleted and new recordings fill that space (FIFO) i'm thinking of a feature where we can decide how much space we want to reserve for recordings (or how much free space we want to make sure if left on the drive) and once we get to that size it will automatocly delete the oldest files and keep space for new recordings. this could be placed under general settings -> call recording and the system can run this script on the cron.daily at 4am in the morning.

AnalogKiD, while it would be rather difficult to provide a module with this feature that everyone would be happy with, it would probably be simple to write a bash script to do the work for you. If bash isnt your thing, you can pick the language of your choice. As always, a bounty might be able to help you out if your not in to the programming side of things.

i agree on how easy it is to write a bash script to perform this on a daily/hourly basis, this is what we do. but i still think this should be part of freepbx, freepbx is more than just a dialplan generator, it's a pbx managments portal. i'de love if someone give me an his idea on how to attend to this matter.
