I think your problem is that you are trying to execute from a linux command and the subsystem resides at the asterisk level.

Not that you can do it from there but you must address it where it resides.

[App_rpt-users] event subsystem variable use in system call

I am learning about the event subsystem.

One of my events looks like this:

echo bla ${RPT_ALINKS} >> /tmp/blabla = s|T|RPT_NUMLINKS

This executes when I connect. The contents of /tmp/blabla is simply bla. I would have expected ${RPT_ALINKS} to have been expanded.

Am I assuming functionality that doesn't exist?
