[asterisk-users] externnotify script not running

[Mike Diehl]

These were all good ideas.  I changed my script to a bash script called 
deliver_vm.sh:

======================================================
#!/bin/bash

echo testme >> /home/phones/test.txt
======================================================

The permissions are correct:

# ls -la commands/deliver_vm.*
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 254 Mar 16 21:12 commands/deliver_vm.pl
-rwxrwxrwx 1 root root  50 Mar 17 14:17 commands/deliver_vm.sh

It does run from the command line, but still not from Asterisk.

It feels like a configuration issue in Asterisk.  Here is what I have:

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

After I made the change, I did:

module reload app_voicemail.so


Anything else I can check/do?

Thanks again,

Mike.
