[Asterisk-Dev] Calling Reload Remotely

[brian]

You can tie an extension to the reload with a pin number and use of the
System app to do the reload.

exten => 555,1,Answer
exten => 555,2,Authenticate(123)
exten => 555,3,System(/usr/sbin/asterisk -rx reload)
exten => 555,4,Hangup
exten => 555,103,Hangup

User you connect as doesn’t have permissions to run asterisk.

I am trying to call the Asterisk Reload command remotely from a Windows box
 
I have created a shell script containing the text ...
 
/usr/sbin/asterisk -r -x reload
 
I have saved it as filename reload
 
I can run this on the Linux box using ./reload from terminal within the
correct directory
 
I now want to run it from the Windows box
 
I am using the command "plink username at host -pw password -ssh -v ./reload"
 
It certainly appears to run the script, but complains that it cannot connect
to the remote Asterisk server
 
Does anyone have a workaround for this. Would I be better off calling a Perl
script or something similar?
 
Thanks
 
James
