asterisk users - Oct 2006 - Waiting before executing System command

Hello, all!

I'm having a problem with the following snippet that executes upon hangup:

exten => h,n,Wait(5)
exten => h,n,System(mv /some/file /some/other/dir/)

Wait() doesn't want to seem to wait! So instead I tried:

exten => h,n,System(sleep 5; mv /tmp/${CALLFILENAME} 
/var/spool/asterisk/outgoing/)

This only executes sleep, not mv. How can I make it wait before 
moving the file?

Thanks in advance!

what about

exten => h,n,System(mycommand /some/file /some/other/dir/)

Where "mycommand" is your custom shell script to sleep before moving
the file.
