Anders, yes I know. That's why I can't understand how stdout is of any use. The stdout of the server process is _not_ the same as the stdout of the Asterisk process. If you set a variable in the server process by writing to stdout, the Asterisk process won't know anything about it. Given that all you have on the client side is: exten => _X.,1,AGI(agi://server.gumby.com) ... how do you send commands?
