Bob,

Without knowing the exact nature, I can give some advice on this as I do run scripts from the app_rpt sched over the use of system cron and there are good and bad doing it that way.

But here is some guidance...

You can put the scripts in the /etc/asterisk folder (I use /etc/asterisk/scripts ) but you need to make sure you set file permissions to say 755 on the script file and be sure to call them specifically from their location or set a path to your directory.

Also note that any item you call in the script would have the same permission/path problem so do not assume you can run a file/command (as you would from "root" command line) without saying where it is with a path to it in the command line. And having the permissions set to run it.

If you are trying to keep security on files, you might run them as user: "asterisk".

Hope that is of some value...

I’m working on a node that downloads a file from the internet weekly, but the time seems to vary. I want to change this to a specific day and time each week, but cannot determine what is activating the script. The script is located in /etc/asterisk/. rpt.conf uses the file per its [schedule] stanza. I have two questions:

Does the server only load/execute files in /etc/asterisk each time asterisk is started?

How can I setup the system so it executes this script at a given time each week?

Thanks,

Bob

Yes Angelo,

you can use them but,

just keep in mind the full implications of using them for control op commands because you probably do not have ABCD on your phone control system.

Hi all,

I realized this has never been asked or I just can't find the answer.

Can the A B C D on the DTMF pad be used for control codes??
