Hi all,
I'm wondering what the syntax is to call a shell script from a DTMF command in app_rpt - or even if this is possible?
What I'm trying to do is a variation on the method described by Steve earlier to inhibit incoming calls.
What I intend to to is this:
When the user keys a specific DTMF code, have a script run which renames IRLP.conf as somethingelse.conf ad then restart asterisk, so effectively disabling IRLP part of the node. I will do the same with Echolink but with a different code.....
I've tried using the dialplan to call some announcements just to see if it worked - it didnt!
Here is what I put in my dialplan ( I tried under Default and also Radio-secure stanzas )
exten => *990,1,Answer
exten => *990,n,Wait 1
exten => *990,n,Playback,rpt/connected
exten => *990,n,Playback,rpt/functioncomplete
exten => *990,n,Hangup
So, I wonder what I'm doing wrong here - I thought I'd try and get this working before going on to use the *990,n,system(script_directory/script) method.
Is it possible to call a system command from rpt.conf instead?
Thanks for all your patience!
Matt
