      That is the UEFI shell which typically means that the device is configured to boot in UEFI mode and cannot find/load the boot file/partition.

    • RE: Deploying Polycom Phones Properly

      Not that my opinion matters much considering the scale of what @scottalanmiller and @JaredBusch deploy, but we've had good luck with the GXP-2170 Grandstream phones and FreePBX.

    • RE: Get active calls overtime

      I can't think of a way aside from cron every X seconds. I'd dump it into a csv file with just the timestamp and the number of calls. E.g.

      #!/bin/sh
      if [ ! -f /var/log/activecalls.csv ]; then 
         echo "Timestamp,Calls" > /var/log/activecalls.csv
      fi
      DateTime=`date "+%Y%m%d %H:%M:%S"`
      echo -ne "\n$DateTime,"  >> /var/log/activecalls.csv
      asterisk -x 'core show channels' | grep 'active calls' | cut -d " " -f1
      

      Which SHOULD create a nice csv for you...

    • RE: Laptop bag recommendations

      My techs (and myself) run these : Thule Accent 28L
      Perfect size for carry-on beneath the seat and hold enough equipment for most general jobs.
      Side entry for the laptop makes stowing/retrieving a laptop quick.

      EDIT: Should also mention that it has both top and side carry handle for whatever "floats your boat" and that we deal with a lot of Law Firms and other "prissy" environments and it's one of the few knapsacks that don't look "frumpy" and aren't made of leather 🙂

    • RE: Troubleshooting Help Requested

      @DustinB3403 : Yes, but that doesn't mean the firewall doesn't have a rule (or is a Sonicwall -- see my old post) to block outbound on WAN from that IP.

    • RE: Troubleshooting Help Requested

      @DustinB3403 : The fact that you can ping the gateway/router by name and IP makes me suspect it's the firewall.
      AFAIK, there is nothing on a linux box that would allow it to distinguish between LAN and WAN when performing lookups.

    • RE: Make this command better

      @JaredBusch : I'm not certain if this fits the bill, but what about the "diff" command? Of course, this does nothing to sync the files but does offer a way to simply compare the directories.

      diff -rs manxam jaredbusch
      

      This will get you :

      Files /home/manxam/TEST and /home/jaredbusch/TEST are identical
      Only in /home/manxam: i_am_manxam
      Only in /home/jaredbusch: you_are_jared

    • RE: I have $500 spare!

      @StorageNinja : I don't care about the company, I care about the stock. Having bought a bunch at $12 , I've seen highs as much as $72 with an average of about $62 making for a decently performing stock. This value drops to 40-50 every month-or-so so it's an easy way to make some cash. One can likely make $10+ per share within a few week period. It won't make you rich but it's not a bad payout for no work.

      Most researchers forecast a cap somewhere around $100 this year. Currently, growers cannot keep up with the demand here in Canada and many shops are suffering so there's definitely a "need" for their product.

      @flaxking : I wasn't aware of that. Interesting. I know that in Ontario and Quebec a car has to be safetied before a new owner can license/insure it. In Alberta we have none of that. Didn't realize that Sask. was so liberal with theirs.

    • RE: Just a regular day

      Pretty much every province has a requirement that cars need to be certified/"safetied" as well as emissions tested. Except, at this time, Alberta -- though they're trying to change that.

    • RE: Just a regular day

      Cost of living is extremely high in Ontario and BC. Alberta is still where it's at for high salary with moderate cost of living...

      BC is a beautiful place but, due to Asian investors, the cost of living is ridiculous. The government is trying to put a stop to that but we'll see where that goes.
      Ontario is high because it's "the center of things" economy wise.

      @darrel : Kore seems like a pretty large and decent company. Any reason why you'd be looking to move away from them?

      @darrel said in Just a regular day:

      Yep, just a regular day.

      How is things for you ? i think i might also move in couple of months to Manitoba as well. What advice can you give me ? I will stay a year or so.

      How is transportation there ?

      Why Manitoba? No offence to @darrel, but it's not the best hub for businesses or employment and the weather just plain sucks 🙂

      Manitoba and Sask. are kind of bystanders as far as provinces go. Industry tends to move to :
      Vancouver, BC
      Edmonton or Calgary, AB
      Toronto or Ottawa, ON
      Montreal, QC

      and that's where the jobs are. Of course, the cost of living in those places is also significantly higher.
      I.e. $2000 a month for a 400sq-ft "mini" apartment or $650,000 for a "starter home"
