I need to issue some system commands via the Asterisk manager API. From the CLI the ! (system command) works fine, but when connected via the manager API it fails. Does anyone know why, or of a work around? Thanks Robert -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

I suppose the code of handling ! is in client part of asterisk CLI, not server. There are other far much superior and faster ways how to do that. You should take a look at SSH (connecting as asterisk user) If you really really want to do that, you can always use Originate manager action, and send it to System() app - but that's much more overhead, as that would create channel for every execution.

Yes - use the manager API to do an Originate by setting variable $CMD to the shell code you want to execute, and then call a piece of dialplan where the shellout will be executed through the System( $CMD ) command. Note that this would enable an attacker to execute arbitrary commands with the privileges of the Asterisk user, so think carefully if there isn't some other way to do it.... :) l.

Hello,
When I click on User menu, I get loading screen status. It runs indefinitely
without showing me
the user list and the user admin menu.
Any thoughts ?
Thanks,
Sanjoy.
