[Asterisk-Users] AGI script sample using bash shell script

[Sunny Woo]

faizan at tilizone.com,

During development of the bash script, I have problem reading the whole
string from the STDIN and I notice the next command won't get executed.

Notice the "case statements" that I have to implement to handle the read
line. This is because normally Asterisk will return one line "200 ...".
However, if the command is not properly written, like "SAY NUMBER"
instead of "SAY NUMBER 123 \"\" ", then Asterisk will return multiline
usage information back ... something like 

520-blah blah blah\n
blah blah blah blah\n
...
520 End of ...\n

The next command will not get executed until you read the last line.

Suggestions, play around with this:

echo "SAY NUMBER 123 \"\""   <---- Asterisk says 123
read line                    <---- Asterisk return 200
echo "SAY NUMBER 123"
read line                    <---- Asterisk return usage info.
                                   but we only read one line
echo "SAY NUMBER 345 \"\""   <---- this will not be executed
read line

Hope this helps,
