.SH NAME 
\fBumdctrl\fP - send commands to the IVR server
.SH SYNOPSIS
.B umdctrl
.I command...
.SH DESCRIPTION 
\fBumdctrl\fP will send the specified command line arguments as command
strings to the IVR server.  The IVR server has a special fifo device to
receive commands from \fBumdctrl\fP as well as other external utilities,
and a command interpreter to parse requests.  The following commands are
currently implimented:
.PP
.RS
.B busy
.I port...
\- disconnect the caller on the specified port(s) and busy out the line so
that new callers cannot be answered.
.LP
.B idle
.I port...
\- disconnect the caller on the specified port(s) and make the port idle
for new callers.  This may also be used to make a "busied out" port
available again.
.LP
.B compile
\- recompile all aascripts and offer new script package to any newly
offered calls.
.LP
.B ring
.I port
.I [caller [forward]]
\- simulates ring event when specified port is idle.  This can ultimately be
used to impliment "integrations" such as SMDI.
.LP
.B start
.I port
.I script 
.RI [ arguments ]
\- initiate script execution on a idle port.  If the port specified is "0"
then the last available idle port will be used.  If the script includes
arguments, as in "\fIstart 0 dialout 123456\fP", then the arguments are
passed into script variables.
.LP
.B down
\- shutdown the IVR server.  This function is used by \fBumdstop\fP.
.RE
.PP
Not all IVR servers impliment these commands in the same way and some may
support platform specific commands not documented here.
.SH FILES
The IVR server configuration may be found in \fB/etc/umd.conf\fP.
