Thanks for the feedback, but unfortunately, there is still no joy. If I do this:<br><br>echo -n "database put FOO BAR 1" | socat STDIO UNIX-CONNECT:/var/run/asterisk/asterisk.ctl<br><br>I get the following output on the command line:<br><br>pbx-75/2395/1.4.20.1<br><br>pbx-75 is the hostname, 2395 is the PID of the asterisk process, and 1.4.20.1 is the version of asterisk I am running. I also see this in the asterisk CLI:<br><br> -- Remote UNIX connection<br> -- Remote UNIX connection disconnected<br><br>But the database value did not update.<br>Thanks<br>FSD<br><br>> Date: Mon, 26 Jan 2009 18:31:30 -0800<br>> From: asterisk.org@sedwards.com<br>> To: asterisk-users@lists.digium.com<br>> Subject: Re: [asterisk-users] Reading/Writing the Astdb<br>> <br>> On Mon, 26 Jan 2009, cbbs70a@hotmail.com wrote:<br>> <br>> > That's a really good idea, however, I am having problems getting it to work.
