I'm looking for a UNIX callback utility for use on a Sun 3 workstation.
The idea is to have someone at home dial in to work, log on, then run
this program which would look up the user's home number based on his UID,
hang up the line, then call back the user and present him/her with a
login prompt.
Several months ago, I acquired a shell script called "callback" with the
following code fragments.
> callback -- a call-back facility for aiv-staff members.
>
> usage: callback [baud [waittime] ]
>
> v1 03-10-86 Eelco van Asperen
> v2 06-07-88 Cleaning-up
:
:
> # start dialing:
> #
> (nohup ct -w${WAIT} -s${BAUD} -x${DEBUG} 0-${PHONENUM})&
> echo "Dial-back started..."
> exit 0
Unfortunately, the program ,"ct" that this script calls was not provided
in the shell archive.
Pointers to this missing program "ct", or to any other callback programs
is highly appreciated.
