[asterisk-users] externnotify script not running

[Mike Diehl]

Hi all,

I'm trying to build a custom voicemail delivery system using externnotify in 
voicemail.conf.  But, the configured script doesn't seem to run.

I have:

externnotify=/home/phones/commands/deliver_vm.pl ${VM_NAME} ${VM_DUR} $
{VM_MSGNUM} ${VM_MAILBOX} ${VM_CALLERID} ${VM_DATE}

The deliver_vm.pl has read and execute permissions.

Here is the file I have:

===============================================================
#!/usr/bin/perl

$a = join("\t", @ARGV);
open FILE, ">>/tmp/test.txt";
print FILE "$a\n";
close FILE;
===============================================================

After I leave a voicemail message, I expect to find something in /tmp/test.txt, 
but I don't.

What am I missing?

Thanks in advance.

Mike.
