amqconnector.pl

AMQConnector updates mailbox information by watching activemq for requests from the Hospitality component, altering the Asterisk DB via a tied hash, making FreePBX web requests, and repushing messages that need to be read by other consumers.

Change Summary

• Added annoyingly pedantic but nicely descriptive logging functionality.
• Added error trapping and signal handling. Script doesn't die when temporarily unable to connect to activemq or when services aren't running.
• Added check and restart of activemq and freedom service. The queue receive loop sets SIGALRM to wake up for this.
• Moved configuration into one big Config hash, with the intent of moving it to /etc/amqconnector.conf so the script wouldn't have to be edited.
• Factored out mailbox updates into TiedMailbox.pm, which can be tied to a hash.
