  Assuming that you want to execute some Unix commands and feedback the 
output as variables to the dialplan in Asterisk this is possible with an AGI 
bash script. Use the 'set variable' command 
http://www.voip-info.org/tiki-index.php?page=set+variable
 You can use the example at 
http://yakko.cs.wmich.edu/~drclaw/asterisk/cidname/ , reuse the framework to 
read the standard AGI variables and rewrite it to your own code.

Michel
