I would like to pint sounds_dir to a different location, but it seems freeswitch doesn't support --sounds_dir as command line arguments.

please let me know how to re-define sounds_dir?

thanks!

the sounds_dir variable you cannot - it is like the base_dir, htdocs_dir, etc. variables. What are you doing that requires you to change ${sounds_dir}? Perhaps we can help you with an alternate solution. -MC

I just had this same thought too... It would be nice it you could specify a different dir for sounds as a command-line option like you can with -conf -db -log and -run. There are two reasons I would favor that approach... If you have your own sounds and you don't want to put them into the /opt/freeswitch dir because it might get in the way of updating FreeSWITCH with debs or rpms. Also, that kind of media is likely to be provided via some sort of file sharing (to make sure all FS servers have the same versions of the media). Those shares are typically mounted at /mnt/some/random/path. It would be pretty nice to just start with a "-sounds /mnt/foo/bar" Anyway, just another perspective on it. Best, Gabe
