Hello Larry,

Probably your variable (MYIP) is not accessible to asterisk process environment.
Test it with ${ENV(PATH)} and you will have a result there....

exten => s,n,Set(test=${ENV(PATH)})
-- Executing Set("IAX2/test_iax", "test=/sbin:/usr/sbin:/bin:/usr/bin:/usr/X11R6/bin") in new stack

Best regards,

How can I access an environmental variable in Asterisk 1.2.5?

It should be possible according to:
http://www.voip-info.org/wiki/view/Asterisk+variables
which says:

Environment Variables
You may access unix environment variables using the syntax:
   ${ENV(foo)}
${ENV(ASTERISK_PROMPT)}: the current Asterisk CLI prompt.
${ENV(RECORDED_FILE)}: the filename of the last file saved by the Record command


I have an environmental variable MYIP which contains my current IP address but when I execute exten _4XX the following line only says
'myip is  ' and the rest is blank instead of showing
'myip is   www.xxx.yyy.zzz'

exten => _4XX,n,VERBOSE("myip is  ${ENV(MYIP)}")

Why doesn't it work?

Larry
