[asterisk-users] Unable to Execute System Command From DialPlan

[Salvatore Giudice]

Could it be permissions? What uid is your Asterisk running under and what
are the perms for your sounds directory? sounds is this by default on my
server since I built from source:

drwxr-xr-x  13 root root 110592 Apr 14 01:13 sounds

 

Try putting:

 

/bin/mkdir -p /var/lib/asterisk/sounds/1234 > /tmp/logfile 2>&1

 

See if that generates a log for you at least.

Subject: [asterisk-users] Unable to Execute System Command From DialPlan

 

Hello,

I have scoured the mailing lists and forums to no avail. Does anyone have
tips on how to use the system command within a dialplan (1.2.7.1). I am very
familiar with dialplan scripting but new to the system command.

I am attempting to create a directory. I put both of the lines below in my
dialplan but neither executes, although they do not generate errors. The
first line was added just for kicks to see if system is working properly.

exten => s,n,System(/bin/pwd > location.out)
exten => s,n,System(/bin/mkdir -p /var/lib/asterisk/sounds/1234)

Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Victor

 

P.S.  I received a suggestion to change System(/bin/pwd... to
System(!/bin/pwd ... but it did not work, with or without a space.
