[Asterisk-Dev] Question on using system(find args -exec rm {} \; )

[Rusty Dekema]

This is kind of obvious and is probably not the cause of your problem, but
it has tripped me up from time to time when trying to code things in the
Asterisk dialplan. Are you sure that the two variables you reference
(${PathRecordingTemp}
and ${CUSTNUM}) have been defined and hold the correct values before you try
to reference them in your system call?

Just a thought; I don't see anything wrong other than that.
