Hi Bill, I think it is just arguments (via STDIN), have you tried to use the %x values as parameters for the exec option: E.g. exec=/usr/local/bin/kannel_exec.cgi %p %P %d etc.
I have never tried it before, but it is easy to setup a test run. If I find the time today or tommorow, I will try it and let you know.

As far as using the exec type - I have looked through the source but not 100% sure of how the incoming data is passed to the program - via standard input, or by command line? Could anyone clarify this? Cheers ----- Original Message ----- From: "Edwin R.
