[Freeswitch-users] best way to change configuration files programmatically

[Steven Ayre]

+1 - I've used SFTP for this in the past to push the config onto the
server, verified it's valid XML and uploaded correctly with xmllint &
md5sum, and then done reloadxml over ESL. You could either push from the
central server or pull from the freeswitch ones (perhaps in a cronjob).

I've also heard of people storing their configs in git and doing a git
clone into the appropriate directory on the servers. Then it's just 'git
pull' + reloadxml (well, depending on the module - but that's all you need
for dialplan changes).

You can also get FreeSWITCH to use wget to download the dialplan over HTTP.
See
https://wiki.freeswitch.org/wiki/Mod_xml_curl#Alternative_ways_of_storing_static_configurations-
I can't remember if exec actions work during a reloadxml though.

Truth is there's a million and one ways to get the file onto the server. :)

If the wget one works on reloadxml that would be the simplest I guess
though. Might cause problems if there's any HTTP error though (500 Internal
Server Error -> blank result -> no dialplan, whereas copying the file you
can verify it before you reloadxml).
