Thanks Smee. I am still not 100% clear on what I need to do, so I will try to write it up. It will hopefully help some noob later. (
Figured out and now the system is working as advertized )
1. Set up Obi to send logging to your computer where obi2yac is going to be running. ->
How do I set-up and collect a syslog from an OBi device? (I did not do step 3 from here and it still works)
2. I think I will need to set up port forwarding on my router to allow this communication to come to my computer. (I have done that assuming I will need it)
3. Run Obi2yac
as admin when the machine starts. It is a syslog manager, so the it will capture (listen?) when obi writes to the syslog and notify my growl or yac listeners.
Good so far?
The problem I have right now is how to set up Obi2yac.
I have downloaded Obi2Yac_v1.0.0.44.exe from the linked page. Which is just an executable that runs directly and does not do any installs. (no au3 file accompanying it) Same situation for the other download available there, obi2yac.exe. so where is the access database where those tables exist? Do I need to use subversion to
get the code?
Thanks for helping out here.
ETA: I can browse and download the code from
here. So gonna do that and try to play with those files
ETA2: Got all the files. It seems that I am supposed to update the ini file and the access database and then build my own exe file using aut2exe. (I have never used autoIt, so not sure if I can use the provided exe file with my own ini file and mdb. Don't know how that exe would know where my ini file and mdb are though. So I assume I have to build my own exe
ETA3: The exe file provided reads the ini file from the same directory. (Tested by changing NoBreak parameter) I imagine it will also read mdb file from the same directory. So I won't need to actually make my own exe file. Right now I have enabled growler in the ini file, not touched the mdb file and will test if growler can get the phone call
ETA4: Success! My test call showed up on growl. (after 2nd ring) Now I need to move my google contacts to the mdb file. I need to find if I can schedule a sync between those two. Smee, are you using any other personal contacts in addition to cnam/whitepages? How are you keeping it synced?
