[Asterisk-Users] Executing external script

A quick look at app_system.c shows that it just passes the string unaltered
to system(3).  So, running "man 3 system" will show exactly what system(3)
does:

   system()  executes  a command specified in string by calling
   /bin/sh -c string, and returns after the command has been completed.

As such, System(command arg1 arg2 etc) should do what you want.

PS   No, I didn't know that before I looked at the src....

PPS  Except for what was in the system(3) manpage....

======== That has been copied from a previous thread called "Execute Command
in Shell" that's the reply I gave from James H. Cloos Jr. [cloos at
jhcloos.com] ================

NOTE that it seems that you need to specify full path to your 'sh'.

Marc.

Tnx !

I tried System(), but documentation is very scarce ...

what can I insert in the () ?

a system command like System(sh myscript.sh) does not seem to work ....

Again tnx !
