Description

Wakeup Calls sent the very same second they are created regardless of specified time.

PBXIAF forum user Bitnetix provides the solution:

In wake.inc, the
temp dir is $param_temp_dir="/tmp";
call dir is $param_call_dir="/var/spool/asterisk/outgoing";

This fails when, /tmp and /var are two separate filesystems. /tmp is on /, and /var is on its on mount point.

User has been using unix since the 80s and doesnt like having one filesystem. They use /, /usr, and /var, and that means /tmp and /var/anything are not sharing inodes.

*So the move becomes a copy, and now it's a new file with NOW as its timestamp, and Asterisk promptly processes it. *
Changing $param_temp_dir to /var/spool/asterisk/tmp fixes this problem and should probably be a permanent fix to wake.inc, since unless someone is really doing weird things, this is guaranteed to be on the same filesystem as /var/spool/asterisk/outgoing and will prevent this problem for occurring...
