------------------------------------------

Thanks for creating a report! The issue has entered the triage process. That means the issue will wait in this status until a Bug Marshal has an opportunity to review the issue. Once the issue has been reviewed you will receive comments regarding the next steps towards resolution.

A good first step is for you to review the [Asterisk Issue Guidelines|https://wiki.asterisk.org/wiki/display/AST/Asterisk+Issue+Guidelines] if you haven't already. The guidelines detail what is expected from an Asterisk issue report.

Then, if you are submitting a patch, please review the [Patch Contribution Process|https://wiki.asterisk.org/wiki/display/AST/Patch+Contribution+Process].

Please note that once your issue enters an open state it has been accepted. As Asterisk is an open source project there is no guarantee or timeframe on when your issue will be looked into.

> alarmreceiver.conf documentation states that app_alarmreceiver.c will pipe the alarm events to the user application specified by eventcmd in alarmreceiver.conf, yet it does not do this, and only calls the eventcmd program with no arguments, and no piping (Lines 154-158).
> To solve this issue, a command string needs to be created consisting of the user command specified by eventcmd, followed by the list of events, passed as command-line arguments, and this string called upon hang-up.  This is better than piping, as typically the events need to be parsed into human-readable form prior to e-mailing, etc. - which is easily done in a bash script.
> Up to this point, the approach (without fixing the issue) has been to enable writing individual events to the /tmp directory and then having the program specified in eventcmd search this directory for the most recent file, and then parse this to obtain the event.
