Eliminate Music on Hold from Askozia

Music on hold is something I avoid, so I was embarrassed to discover my own PBX (Askozia) forcing it on my own callers. Though the solution is not documented, it was straightforward. Run these three commands using the /exec.php script (no UI link to this, but it does exist)

/sbin/mount -u -o rw /asterisk
rm /usr/local/share/asterisk/moh/*
/sbin/mount -u -o ro /asterisk

This remounts one of the partitions, removes the music on hold files (fpm-calm-river.ulaw, in my case), and returns the partition to its original (read only) state.

Until Askozia gains UI to disable music on hold this will probably be necessary after each upgrade. It will survive reboots so long as the system is not upgraded.

Otherwise Askozia works well. Would be nice to have a TFTP server to support my handsets…
