QUESTION Call Flow Control Over SSH

[Ron Mervine]

Hello,

I was wondering if anyone had any ideas on how to enable call flow control over SSH. Basically, what I am looking to do is create a script to interact with my alarm system. When my system arms, I am looking to change the call flow control to "away from home". Then when I disarm, it will do the opposite.

I got the IVR's and flow control setup. But I don't know if there is any way of invoking the call flow control over SSH.

How "smart" is the alarm system. Would it be able to call a php script?

It can be virtually infinite for me. My alarm system can send out email messages whenever the system is armed/disarmed. The plan is to use a Mac that I have as a server. What I was thinking that if I could call through SSH somehow, I can set up authentication keys and run a background Applescript. I may be able to the same through PHP. Please share me your ideas. I can test it out. A challenge with calling the script is that I don't think I can run the PHP script in the background. I'm thinking I would have to authenticate first.

I was thinking that you could use something like this:

but instead of ringing a phone... send the call to a misc destination that is set to the feature code to turn on and off the call flow control.
