#ast_sound=/usr/share/asterisk/sounds
ast_sound=/var/lib/asterisk/sounds

9. Create the crontab jobs
Create folder directory for monitoring Scripts:
> mkdir -p /var/lib/a2billing/script > chown asterisk:asterisk /var/lib/a2billing/script
Create folder directory for Cronts PID:
> mkdir -p /var/run/a2billing > chown asterisk:asterisk /var/run/a2billing > mkdir -p /usr/local/a2billing > cp -R /usr/local/src/a2billing/Cronjobs /usr/local/a2billing/ > ln -sf /var/www/a2billing/common/lib /usr/local/a2billing/Cronjobs/lib > chown -R asterisk:asterisk /usr/local/a2billing > vi /var/spool/cron/crontabs/asterisk
