GO HERE Modification to 'status' program

[Michelle Dupuis]

I would like to modify the STATUS program which shows an overview of the system status. I need to add a couple of items relevant to my system.

Is this code available to modify? If not, are there any hooks/api for this program which would allow me to add a couple more items?

Thanks

All of the status apps with Incredible PBX come with source code for status. You might want to download and install one of the stand-alone versions and grab what you need. See this post for the available offerings.

Sorry if this is obvious (but I'm on day 1)...
1. I installed PIAF through the v3 installer. I see a status executable but no status.c or other source files. Is this package different from Incredible PBX in terms of including source code?
2. If I modify the status program source, can I contribute it back to the project? (Assuming it benefits other users)

1. yes.
2. For the Incredible PBX versions of status, we would love to see your changes. Keep in mind that the status program varies somewhat depending upon the platform for obvious reasons. Thanks.

I pulled down the latest Incredible PBX and have it up and running now. I see the status executable under /usr/local/sbin but I can't find the source file/tree. Is the source tree automatically installed (and if so where)?

file /usr/local/sbin/status

I think you'll find that it is a script.

Ha - I didn't expect that. Well that makes it easy.

Do PBIAF and iPBX share the same status script? Or do I have to modify 2 different source trees?

Thanks

As I said, source code is not available for the PIAF status app, and there are multiple status apps for Incredible PBX depending upon the platform: CentOS, Ubuntu, Raspbian, PogoPlug, RasPBX, BeagleBone Black, RentPBX Cloud, and Elastix.

Thanks - now I get it. I assumed you had a common source tree with branches for each platform...and that I could somehow modify the root and the branches would all inherit the code (just applying diff's). That sounds like a lot of maintenance work to keep all those code bases in sync.

We try to build it right the first time

Keep in mind there are different OS "languages" plus different web servers. Email servers, MySQL setups, not to mention completely different GUI platforms.
