[asterisk-users] externnotify script not running

[Mike Diehl]

Thanks for getting back to me.  The system in question is old enough to 
predate systemd, but I did move the output file to /home/phones/ directory just 
to be sure.  Same results.  BTW, the program does what I expect when it is run 
by hand.

Any other ideas?

Mike.
