Re: [asterisk-users] Global variables and AGI
Yes, thanks again for the suggestions. I wrote a few scripts for different things that we needed in the office and by the time I got to that one, I was tired and wasn't thinking straight anymore. I am probably going to just set a dummy variable for now and have asterisk update the global. Down the road we plan on adding a database for call logging, configurations, etc, and I would agree with you Jay, storing the variable there would be the better choice. Thanks again.
