NAME

       autosupport — interactive script to provide Digium[tm]'s support with information

SYNOPSIS

       autosupport [OPTION] [prefix]

DESCRIPTION

       autosupport  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 document, this will be referred to as /root/ henceforth.

       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.

OPTIONS

   Arguments:
       prefix         Used to prefix the file names. Typically a Digium Technical Support Ticket ID

   Options:
       -n, --non-interactive    Run without requiring user input

       -h, --help               Show help about options

FILES

       /root/digiuminfo.txt
