I'm just trying to listen in to ongoing call.
Ok, I realise I was misreading the help, I've switched back to spy_options="bq", I'm still unable to listen in.
Any other suggestions?

Asterisk 1.8, fop2.
I’ve put spyoptions=4 in appropriate button in buttons.cfg
+ permissions set to ‘all’ for the user entry in fop2.cfg ( I don’t know if this is granting the same permission twice)
+ I’ve put force_parameter_delimiter="," spy_options="4" in fop2.cfg
+ read = system,call,command,agent,user,originate
write = system,call,command,agent,user,originate in Asterisk manager.conf,
but sill no listen in!!!
What else to try?

What is the best way to trigger a reload remotely (say from a Windows Service in my case)?

Thanks, that was it.

Is it that the buttons bind to channels, which take the form SIP/username (=sip.conf username??)
(link to relevant documentation would be welcome if I'm overlooking the obvious)

If know I must be exposing a fundamental misunderstanding, but if asterisk has all these sip calls getting 'bridged' between the registered sip phones and the outside world, doesn't fop2 somehow 'sit' on top of that to flash the lines which are active, etc, etc?

I'm sure this is staring me in the face, but I don't quite understand the relationship between the user list in fop2.cfg and Sip.conf user list/sip registrations , how do you tie them together?(they are presumably the same thing(?))

Thanks, that fixed it.

Thanks for getting back to me.
I tried the uname -a, which returns i686, which I think means 32 bit, and I downloaded the file: fop2-2.20-debian-i386.tgz which I guess is the correct one, and ran the chmod a+x, but still the 'Command Not Found', any further suggestions?

As far as I can tell I've completed all the installation steps on Ubuntu, I go to run the fop2_server --test and I just keep getting 'command not found'. I do a Alt-f2 to run the app, even though I'm not sure its running as I can see it listed if I run ps -A. Where am I going wrong?
