Summary:                    Set(MONITOR_EXEC= in the queues.conf file doesn't
actually do anything
Description: 
NB:On Asterisk 1.6.0.6 - but I will install the latest version and try it
too.

When you try to run a shell script or any unix command on:

Set(MONITOR_EXEC=/etc/asterisk/lameconvert.php ^{MONITOR_FILENAME})

To test this and prove it isn't my script I made it do an ls as follows:

Set(MONITOR_EXEC=ls -l / > /dave.txt)

So I go in an queue a call and then check to see what happens. The wav
file is created but there is not /dave.txt file so it seems to completely
ignore the Set command.

I need to try this on the latest version but after searching I didn't see
anything about it so I must be the only person to discover it (I did notice
back in asterisk 1.2 something like this came up and the fix was to add
some monitor options, but that was fixed in 1.2 so I'm sure it's not here
today in version 1.6)

Any ideas???

You misunderstood some documentation somewhere.  This doesn't go into
queues.conf - it goes in the dialplan somewhere that will get executed
before entering the queue.

Closing as this is not a bug.
