Another way is to do:
exten 456,1,Background(Please-set-time-mmddhhmm)
exten _.,1,System (echo ${EXTEN} > /tmp/datetime )Then have a cron job that runs every minute to check if file exists. For example:
#!/bin/bash
if [ -f /tmp/datetime ] then
date `cat /tmp/datetime`
rm -f /tmp/datetime
fi
This should work fine.

If I dial 456 I get the message, so I type 04021305 (2nd April, 13:05).
On the console Asterisk reports the command Dial 04021305 exits non-zero.
You need 'Read' instead of 'Background'.
No, because his next line is _.,1 so it will actually use the extension.
His problem is just one of permissions. Maybe he should use a suid prog to set the date.
