										 |  |  | \fBautosupport\fR is a script that is normally run by a user contacting Digium's Technical | 
					
						
							|  |  |  | Support to automate gathering support information. It will probe the | 
					
						
							|  |  |  | system for some run\-time and system information, and generate a backup | 
					
						
							|  |  |  | of Asterisk related configuration. An optional parameter for a prefix | 
					
						
							|  |  |  | may be specified which is typically used to specify a Digium Technical | 
					
						
							|  |  |  | Support Ticket ID. |

							|  |  |  | The script requires root privileges to run, and writes all output in the | 
					
						
							|  |  |  | home directory of the user running the script. For the purposes of this |

										 |  |  | The system information is written to /root/digiuminfo.txt and the backup | 
					
						
							|  |  |  | of configuration (and the system information file) are written to a tarball | 
					
						
							|  |  |  | in /root/ with a base name of digium\-info. A Date Stamp will be appended, | 
					
						
							|  |  |  | and if specified the optional parameter will be a prefix. The tarball at | 
					
						
							|  |  |  | least is expected to be attached to a support ticket with Digium. |
