[App_rpt-users] Access Command Mode With A Macro

Thu Aug 1 15:09:11 UTC 2013

of course ... that will return the DTMF code that executed the OS script. I think what is wanted are the digits that come afterwards (so that you can punch in any number not just a fixed menu of numbers). 

Oh well, I am  sure a smart person can figure this out  ;-P

Or even better...
asterisk -rx "rpt stats 29820" | grep executed
ast DTMF command executed.......................: 329829
asterisk -rx "rpt stats 29820" | grep executed | cut -c52-
29829

 Ken,

 Your idea lead me to this..  The shell script could parse that out
 rather easily and act upon it.

 asterisk -rx "rpt stats 29820" | grep executed
 Last DTMF command executed.......................: 329829
