Asterisk kick start file for CentOS 5.5

Working with Asterisk a lot recently at work, I made this kickstart file for CentOS 5.5 32-bit to automatically install the OS, install Asterisk, update the OS, and reboot. Upon first boot you’ll have a fully up to date server with Asterisk already up and running with sample config files and a small selection of music on hold files installed. You’ll still need to add rules to  IPTables for sip ports 5060 and 5061. Get the kickstart file from Pastie here.

sudo serveradmin command afp:command = getConnectedUsers | egrep '(ipAddress)|(name)' | sed '$!N;s/\n/ /' | cut -d '"' -f 2,4 | tr '"' '\t'

Here’s the full script: (more…)
