Thanks the System application works.

But I'm stuck before executing the script. I know this thread is suppose to be on the user list, but bare with me please.

I'm following Kevin Flemming's advice:

>/Let's see... set a channel variable in the dialplan before going into MeetMe, then in the context where 
/>/MeetMe was executed add an 'h' extension. In that extension, check for the magic channel variable, 
/>/then use MEETME_COUNT() to see if any users are left in the MeetMe and if not, run the conversion./

My dialplan looks as follows, the user dials in and are prompt for 
meetme room and pin number:

exten => s,1,MeetMe(${ROOM},rsxA,${PIN})

When a meetme user hangs up/been kicked then we count the number of 
participants in the conference and based on that we execute the 
extension which executes the System(lame-script) application.

exten => h,1,MeetMeCount(${ROOM}|countvar)
exten => h,2,GotoIf($[${ROOM} != "" & ${countvar} = 0]?5010:5011)

The problem is that the ${ROOM} varaible is empty by the time we get to h,1.
I have read somewhere that some channel varaibles are destroyed and you 
have to watch out for this when using the h extension.

What know? I'm I going the right way?

Thanks for all the help.
