[asterisk-users] externnotify script not running

Well, I didn't get it working, but I was able to work around this.  

I have an agi script, hangup.agi, assoicated with the h extension.

In that script, I make a call to system() that runs the script I wanted to run 
for vm delivery.  

This works for me.

Thanks for your time.

Mike.
