You can use the FIFO(bayonne.ctrl) and the SEND command to notify the
script using ^event

Subject: [Bayonne-devel] music on hold

Hi,

I'm trying to play 'music on hold' while a long perl script executes, so
the caller doesn't think the system has hung up on him. Currently, with
no music (ie. silence) I have:

libexec 60 long_perl.pl var1=%var1 var2=%var2 var3=%var3 etc.

and long_perl.pl returns several variables back to bayonne.

so what I want to do is:

libexec 0 long_perl.pl var1=%var1 var2=%var2 var3=%var3 etc.
play music

In this case, the libexec will return immediately, and start playing the
file music.au 

What I don't know how to do is (a) get the return values from
long_perl.pl back into bayonne when it finishes, and (b) how to signal
back to bayonne that it *has* finished, and stop playing music.

Any ideas?  (Please assume I'm an idiot, and give an example of
suggested usage)

Thanks,
Tony
