You may want to find a better way of getting that functionality, you will need to loosen your security on X so that a process you don't own can access the screen. If you are running X as root you probably already need to do some time thinking about security again. If you need that asterisk install to be reliable, you probably shouldn't be running X on a production PBX. X is known to eat a lot of resources. If you are using asterisk on your workstation, I can attest that VoIP will start to degrade as system load rises either via screensaver, browseing the web, or any other application. I was also on a 1ghz T'brd so speed shouldn't have been an issue. If you choose to disregard these warnings, the answer you are looking for is 'system', but make sure you background it or as long as the X app is running your extension logic will hang. -- Steven Critchfield <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> _______________________________________________ Asterisk-Users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users
