It usually boils down to PATHs, environment variables, permissions, 
missing script interpreters, etc.

When you execute your AGI from the command line, are you passing a valid 
AGI environment to the AGI via STDIN? If not, you may be violating the AGI 
protocol, which, is probably not why your 'AGI' is not executing, but will 
bite you some time in the future.

When you say 'it don't get executed' do you mean that Asterisk cannot 
locate the AGI at all or do you mean it does not execute as you expect?

Asterisk looks for AGI executables in the 'astagidir' (AKA ASTAGIDIR) 
directory which is usually /var/lib/asterisk/agi-bin/. This can be set in 
asterisk.conf. The path to this file can be specified on the command line 
used to start asterisk.

It would be unusual for ASTAGIDIR to be set the asterisk user's home 
directory. It would also be unusual for the asterisk user's home directory 
to be set to ASTAGIDIR.
