step 1 lists out Perl scripts that need to be run only on one server. Now, there seem to be 2 places where these get started. Some are started by cron and some are started [by vicidial?] through VARactive_keepalives variable in astguiclient.conf
I am assuming I don't need to add scripts set in VARactive_keepalives into crontab, correct?
For example, step 1 says that AST_VDauto_dial_FILL should only be running on one 1 server. I added 7 into VARactive_keepalives on one of the servers and it is indeed running on that server. Although it is *not* in crontab. This initially through me off.
I guess I am just curious how these scripts [that are not in crontab] are started and why they are started in 2 different ways.
Second, is more of a note on step 4: extensions for inter-server dialing contain 4 groups of digits separated by *s followed by meetme extension. From what I understand, these 4 groups comprise IP addresses of servers participating in load-balanced dialing, however it is not mentioned anywhere. I might be wrong, but I believe it's important that correct server IP addresses are put there. This should probably be stressed more.
Lastly, step 6 says to change VDAD extension, but doesn't say where...
I first changed it on each server, but that didn't seem to affect anything (or did it?). I then went to detailed view for each campaign and found it there as well and changed it.
