Elseed conf file

[989171]

Ive got Elseed up and running perfectly. I'm trying to get it to display actual names through the elseed.conf file. Nothing Ive tried seems to work, hopefully you can give me a clue. This is what I have.
Sony Sat t60
Instantcaked 160 gig HD
TIVO Software 3.5-01-1-011
TivoWebPlus 1.3.1
Elseed 0.6.0

elseed, elseed.conf and elseed_forever.sh are in /var/hack/elseed-0.6.0

This is my rc.sysinit.author file
# Start TivoWebPlus
/var/hack/TivoWebPlus/tivoweb &

sleep 200
/var/hack/elseed-0.6.0/elseed_forever.sh -c /var/hack/elseed-0.6.0/elseed.conf &


This is my elseed_forever.sh file

#!/bin/bash

export PATH=/bin:/usr/bin:/var/bin:/hack/bin:/var/hack/elseed-0.6.0:/tvbin:/tivo-bin:.

while true
do
elseed -e $*
sleep 5
done

And finally my elseed.conf with phone number Xd out

404xxxxxxx Dad

What am I missing?

It's been awhile since I've used elseed. But, I think there is another flag you need to set when running it to tell it to ignore the name sent by the caller ID signal.

Why don't you use elseed anymore? Is there a latest and greatest something else out there?

I stopped getting caller ID from the phone co.

You could try NCID (http://ncid.sourceforge.net). It has a alias file so you can map the names from the phone company and lots of other features. If you try it, be sure to remove the ncid.conf file in version 0.66 before you run the client. This is a workaround for a TiVo problem that will be fixed in the next release.

I figured it out, elseed looks for the conf file in /etc/, so I put it there, alls fine. Thanks guys.
