CallerID Via WinPopUp and smbclient

If you have Windows machines and would like to send people messages when a call is coming in for them, you can use the following macro:

[macro-stdexten]
;
; Standard extension macro:
; ${ARG1} - Mailbox
; ${ARG2} - Device(s) to ring
; ${ARG3} - Who the call is for
; ${ARG4} - The smb address to send a winpop message to
;
; **THE FOLLOWING LINE IS SUPPOSED TO BE ONE LINE**

exten => s,1,System(/bin/echo -e 'Incoming Call From: ${CALLERIDNUM} To:${ARG3} Received: ${DATETIME:0:2}/${DATETIME:3:2}/${DATETIME:4:4} at ${DATETIME:9}'|/usr/bin/smbclient -M ${ARG4})

exten => s,2,Dial(${ARG2},40,m)

exten => s,3,Voicemail(u${ARG1})

exten => s,4,Goto(default,s,1)

exten => s,103,Voicemail(b${ARG1})

An example of it's use would be

exten => 277906,1,macro(stdexten|4|ZAP/3r2|FWD - 277906|Zx81_windesk)

That means:

when 277906 is dialed, run the stdexten macro, pass 4 as the mailbox, Zap/3r2 as the channel to ring, FWD - 277906 as the destination (i.e. someone dialed that to get here) and Zx81_windesk as the SMB hostname.

The SMB hostname is the computer name of your computer under windows networking.

You will also need to run winpopup on the console.

The idea was originally proposed by Thomas Hutton on the Asterisk-users list.
