There is no list.

Try executing a dialplan containing a priority like:

 	exten = *,n,system(set >/tmp/what-asterisk-sees)

to see what is actually in the Asterisk process's environment.

My Asterisk startup script looks something like:

 	env --ignore-environment\
 		HOST=$HOST\
 		PATH=/usr/local/bin/:/bin/\
 		$ASTERISK\
 		$START_OPTIONS

so I control exactly what environment variables are passed.

Thanks in advance,
