Renewing a cert, fiddling with OSTicket, and writing documentation.
Trying to do that myself but @Dashrender is not responding to me.
-
@scottalanmiller Specifically, I'm about to create a cron job that polls a mailbox via POP. Apparently, there is no built in function/task within OSTicket to do this, UNLESS an agent is logged into the system. Any "automatic" polling must be scheduled via cron.

Trying to set up a demo email server. Getting ready for my first coffee of the day.
Is the coffee so intense their that you have to get ready for it?
One can only hope.
If the spoon stands up in it or it forms its own event horizon, it's ready.

Flashing a MAC address "fix" for some android barcode scanner pda thingy's

Router in the house totally died. We are now without Internet completely.

@scottalanmiller If I were you, I would go to a large open field, and using rocks, spell out SOS so someone can help. This is truly crisis mode at this point.

You leave your home... without a backup 4G router?

Never again! We've been talking about the need to carry that stuff all the time.

Woot, false alarm. It was the power in the house... all the lights stayed on, including the one that shared a socket with the router. Dominica tested the router all over the house, worked nowhere. It was when I noticed my laptop discharging on a different floor that we realized that power was out, but nothing visibly affected but the router and anywhere that we tried to plug it in. We are back up. That's so odd what is wired into that one breaker. Every corner of the house was affected, but every corner was not fully affected.

I mean... yours presumable. But who else's? Who is actually responsible?

Not entirely sure yet.
Could be the PBX (Mitel) or could be the ISP. The ISP reports no issues... I've pulled logs from the Mitel again (it was having issues on Friday) and just rebooted.
-
Rebooting the PBX made it come back online. Might be a failing PBX
We have logs being sent to Mitel as I type this.

FreePBX maybe an option here soon?

LOL - not likely. The test group of users hated - I mean freaked out - at the new way parking worked. Mitel has the ability to put a call on hold on someone else's phone... FreePBX didn't when I looked at this two years ago. Instead they have typical pool based parking. There was a real concern that patients would be lost or picked up by the wrong person, etc.

Because Management refuses to enforce any kind of sane policy. This company is wasting tons of money and dealing with multiple outages because they refuse to force their user be trained.

Yeah, how many patient issues might arise because they have no phones at all rather than because they can't manage the staff that they hire?

now you're assuming that FreePBX will be more reliable than Mitel. Do you have numbers to back that up?
