SYNOPSIS

DESCRIPTION

14       autosupport is a script that is  normally  run  by  a  user  contacting
15       Digium's  Technical  Support to automate gathering support information.
16       It will probe the system for some run-time and system information,  and
17       generate a backup of Asterisk related configuration. An optional param‐
18       eter for a prefix may be specified which is typically used to specify a
19       Digium Technical Support Ticket ID.
20
21       The  script  requires  root privileges to run, and writes all output in
22       the home directory of the user running the script. For the purposes  of
23       this document, this will be referred to as /root/ henceforth.
24
25       The  system  information  is  written  to  /root/digiuminfo.txt and the
26       backup of configuration (and the system information file)  are  written
27       to  a  tarball  in /root/ with a base name of digium-info. A Date Stamp
28       will be appended, and if specified the optional  parameter  will  be  a
29       prefix.  The  tarball  at least is expected to be attached to a support
30       ticket with Digium.
