ACID and Multiple Audrey's

I have multiple Audrey's and would like to set one up to serve the others. Easy enough. But, I want them to all use the same caller id log file and lookup databbase on a server share. How do I make the clients use the log file without causing multiple entries? Since I have to point both the server and the clients to the share, can I have different config files on this share? The -a option will let me define the share but how do I tell it which config file to use?

maybe you could do a link to the files you want ACID to use.
Create a server share with the files you want the programs to use. Then in the directory where ACID is looking for the files do this.

cd /nto/acid/
ln -s /SERVERSHARE/acidoptions.bin acidoptions.bin

this would create a link to the acidoptions.bin on the server share.
an ls in the /nto/acid directory will show a file acidoptions.bin now, but it is only a link to the server.
You may be able to do this on all the Audreys to point to the one file. Maybe it would work for the logs file too, but if they need to open and write to the files things might get dicey.


Get help, chat, and be merry..

If one Audrey is serving the others, then the log file for one will be the same for all. Therefore, you should only enable call logging on one of the Audreys, and log it to the share. As for the database file, you can point all the Audreys at the same one, while still keeping each Audrey's config settings unique. Here's how:

On all the Audreys, run something like this:
acid -f /myshare/acid/mydatabase.txt -l /myshare/acid/logfile.txt

Since -a was not specified, it will use the local /nto/acid for all files. But, since the -f file (database) and the -l file (call log) both specify full paths, it will use those files for those features instead of /nto/acid.

Now go around to each Audrey except one and turn off call logging, but turn on "load log file at startup", so you can see the history each time it starts up. On the last Audrey, turn on both call logging and load-on-startup. This will be the only one that does any actual logging.

Note that all the config/options info will be in the acidoptions.bin in each Audrey's /nto/acid directory, so they can all be different.

Sketchy,
I tried your suggestion and it works except every time I fire up the "Client" Aud's I have to remember to turn off the "log calls" option. Is there any way to get that option to stick?

Sadly, no. When ACID sees the -l on the command line, it automatically enables logging. I should fix that for the next version, whenever that is. Sorry!
