Following the burning of some midnight oil, the automated Asterisk script has been updated and works as it should with Lenny and the latest version of Asterisk, Dahdi etc.  Also added some minor error checking which looks at whether the script has run previously and cleans up the source trees if required.  This means if the script is interrupted before it finishes (eg Internet drops out), you can just restart the script and it should continue and recover.

A classic example of the script being interrupted is the error “amportal binary can not be found (/usr/local/sbin/amportal)”

Also added fixes and suggestions from those comments left in the wiki. (thanks for the feedback)

Lastly, Digium seemed to have moved the asterisk-addons version info off the front page of the website with their new design.  You can still find the info here.   http://downloads.asterisk.org/pub/telephony/asterisk/

As of the date of this post, the Asterisk version information within the script is current.

Feedback is appreciated, get the script from here

In the last few weeks, Microsoft have released their own version of antivirus software called Security Essentials.  It is a slightly strange name but it seems to be a good product.  I have not seen or heard any bad comments about it and have been installing it on family and friends computers to see how it goes, so far so good!

We can recomend the download, it is only about 8mb and doesnt have any nag screens or software bloat that other well known AV products have.  As your current AV software comes up for renewal, you may want to give it a try.

If you dont have antivirus on your machine currently then you really need to head over to the web page and get some installed quickly.  Of course if you have any type of virus issue, Core Networks would be glad to assist, check out our contact details in the “About” page.
