[asterisk-users] Dumb question: retrieve values from OS-level commands?

[Ken D'Ambrosio]

Hi, all.  I want to execute a script, and return the value of said
(Python) script to the dialplan.  I thought something like

exten => 1,1,Set(MyWorkingDir=System(/bin/pwd))

might work, but apparently not.  I also looked into AGI stuff, but that
doesn't quite seem to be the right approach.  Surely there's *some* way to
do this...

Any suggestions?

Thanks!
