[asterisk-bugs] [JIRA] (ASTERISK-20939) Not working parameter mailcmd in voicemail.conf unless Asterisk is running as root

[Andrew Kolchoogin (JIRA)]

    [ https://issues.asterisk.org/jira/browse/ASTERISK-20939?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=201491#comment-201491 ] 

Andrew Kolchoogin commented on ASTERISK-20939:
----------------------------------------------

Perhaps where's some issues with launching external commands via system(2) syscall on 64-bit platforms: "mailcmd=/some/shell/script" doesn't work if you were either started Asterisk with "-U unprivilegeduser" or user "runuser=unprivilegeduser" in asterisk.conf.

Removing these parameters cures things and might be suggested as a work-around, but some additional investigation is needed.
