[Asterisk-Users] Music on hold inside of an agi script while processing programs in background

[Matthew B Marlowe]

Ok, thanks.  I'll add that at the top.  Although without adding that it
seemed to work fine and then when my next sound file came in it
automatically turned the music on hold off although I assume I should
probably initiate a set music off before starting with the next voice
file.

Thanks for your help.  I can now continue work with my script. :)

You can do it like that or you can just print it.. OH one thing..

Add this at the top:

$| = 1;

That keeps the buffer flused.. otherwise the command won't get printed
till its too late and then it serves no purpose.
