Hello there all. I have been looking at RAGI to replace the software that i now use to interface with Asterisk. All of the examples that i have seen for it, including the tutorials, show RAGI being used with RoR. We are using RoR to provide our website, but we need our IVR to act independently of what goes on with the web also. We monitor field machinery. When the status of a machine changes, we initiate an IVR phone call to let the customer know what changed. So we need something that can run in a loop or in a thread that will check for status changes and initiate phone calls when necessary. So i guess my question is, is anyone out there using RAGI for something like this? And have you seen any good docs or tutorials for how to set something like this up ? thanks shawn
