[asterisk-users] How to access environment variable?

[Ioan Indreias]

Hello Larry,

Probably your variable (MYIP) is not accessible to asterisk process 
environment.
Test it with ${ENV(PATH)} and you will have a result there....

exten => s,n,Set(test=${ENV(PATH)})
 -- Executing Set("IAX2/test_iax", 
"test=/sbin:/usr/sbin:/bin:/usr/bin:/usr/X11R6/bin") in new stack

-- 
Best regards,
