> The OUTPUTDIR functionality seems to be broken in ast_coredumper:
> gz/tmp# /var/lib/asterisk/scripts/ast_coredumper
> OUTPUTDIR /some/directory doesn't exists or is not a directory
> gz/tmp# /var/lib/asterisk/scripts/ast_coredumper /tmp/core
> OUTPUTDIR /some/directory doesn't exists or is not a directory
> gz/tmp# export OUTPUTDIR=/tmp ; echo $OUTPUTDIR
> /tmp
> gz/tmp# /var/lib/asterisk/scripts/ast_coredumper /tmp/core
> OUTPUTDIR /some/directory doesn't exists or is not a directory
> gz/tmp# asterisk -V
> Asterisk 15.3.0
> Looks like the problem is ast_debug_tools.conf is taking precedence over the environment setting.
> [ -f /etc/asterisk/ast_debug_tools.conf ] && source /etc/asterisk/ast_debug_tools.conf
> [ -f ~/ast_debug_tools.conf ] && source ~/ast_debug_tools.conf
> [ -f ./ast_debug_tools.conf ] && source ./ast_debug_tools.conf
> This doesn't seem like the appropriate behavior to me.  The user should be able to change the output directory on the command line and not have to edit a config file every time. Also, it seems like /tmp should be the default directory instead of /some/directory which would probably never exist.
