[asterisk-users] RES: RES: How to invoke a binary file from the dial plan?

[Rodrigo Pimenta Carvalho]

Hi Kevin.

Thank you very much for the hint! It worked very well!

Your example     ' exten => 1234,1,System(echo "This is a test" >> /var/log/asterisk/test.txt) '     executes when the SIP client (my softphone Jitsi) sends  a SIP INVITE to asterisk.  So, the softphone tries to establish a session with target 1234.

Now, lets suppose my softphone rings and I answer a call. During the call, the caller asks me to execute a command (ex: to open a door or gate). In this case, what have I to program in dial plan to Asterisk execute System() again? Is it possible to execute a dial plan even during an ongoing call?

Finally, lets suppose I want to use my softphone to execute a dial plan, even without establishing a call (no session with target 1234). For example, If I decide to open a dor or gate using my softphone, without existing an ongoing call, what have I to program in dial plan to Asterisk executes System(). Is this idea possible?

Any hint will be very hepful!

Best regards.

It will print out the syntax for the command. One of the easier dialplan applications.

exten => 1234,1,System(echo "This is a test" >> /var/log/asterisk/test.txt)

That line would use the Linux echo command to place the text "This is a test" into a file named test.txt located in the /var/log/asterisk directory.
