[asterisk-users] Manager API ! (System) command

[lenz]

Yes - use the manager API to do an Originate by setting variable $CMD to  
the shell code you want to execute, and then call a piece of dialplan  
where the shellout will be executed through the System( $CMD ) command.  
Note that this would enable an attacker to execute arbitrary commands with  
the privileges of the Asterisk user, so  think carefully if there isn't  
some other way to do it.... :)
