Hi Greg, checkout http://www.voip-info.org/tiki-index.php?page=Asterisk%20config%20voicemail.c onf
<---- From the same page ----> externnotify Want to run an external program whenever a caller leaves a voice mail message for a user? This is where the externnotify command comes in handy. Externnotify takes a string value which is the command line you want to execute when the caller finishes leaving a message. 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, and number of voicemails in that mailbox. These arguments are passed to the program that you set in the externnotify variable. <---- END ----> I will try and digout my script if I can.

It shows me where Comedian Mail spawns the external app. Do you have a copy of your SIP MWI script? I may be able to use it as a starting point. Also, can you tell me what variables are passed from asterisk to the app? Thank you very much.
