Check out the "externnotify" parameter in voicemail.conf. What it does is run an external program whenever a caller leaves a voicemail message for a user. The way it works is basically any time that somebody leaves a voicemail on the system (regardless of mailbox number), the command specified for externnotify is run with the arguments (in this order): context, extension, new voicemails, old voicemails and urgent voicemails. These arguments are passed to the program that you set in the externnotify parameter. Regards; John

My asterisk server is in the cloud. Figuring out how to send an email is too much brain damage. So i can't use the email feature that's built into voicemail. What I want to do is execute a remote command with the voicemail as an argument. The remote machine command would email the message. I'm thinking of: same =>n,VoiceMail(vm,u) same =>n,System(ssh myserver "emailVM '_THE_VOICEMAIL_MESSAGE_'") What variables can I use for _THE_VOICEMAIL_MESSAGE_ Or is this better done with externcmd in voicemail.conf ?: externcmd => ssh myserver "emailVM '_THE_VOICEMAIL_MESSAGE_'" But same question. And can externcmd take arguments ? sean -- _____________________________________________________________________ -- Bandwidth and Colocation Provided by http://www.api-digital.com -- New to Asterisk?
