<div>Assuming that you want to execute some Unix commands and feedback the output as variables to the dialplan in Asterisk this is possible with an AGI bash script. Use the 'set variable' command <br><a href="http://www.voip-info.org/tiki-index.php?page=set+variable">

<div>You can use the example at </div>
