[Asterisk-Users] External MW Lamp On/Off

[usedcanon]

Hi Greg,

<---- From the same page ---->
externnotify
Want to run an external program whenever a caller leaves a voice mail
message for a user? This is where the externnotify command comes in handy.
Externnotify takes a string value which is the command line you want to
execute when the caller finishes leaving a message.

The way it works is basically any time that somebody leaves a voicemail on
the system (regardless of mailbox number), the command specified for
externnotify is run with the arguments (in this order): context, extension,
and number of voicemails in that mailbox. These arguments are passed to the
program that you set in the externnotify variable.

<---- END ---->

I will try and digout my script if I can.

Umar

Yes, it helps quite a bit.  It shows me where Comedian Mail spawns the
external app.

Do you have a copy of your SIP MWI script?  I may be able to use it as a
starting point.

Also, can you tell me what variables are passed from asterisk to the
app?

Thank you very much.

Greg
