asterisk users - Nov 2007 - Get value from linux terminal to dialplan in Asterisk ?

Hello Asterisk Users,

I wanted to know a simple way in which I could read some file from a console
(say by using system command) and based on that either return true or false
back to dialplan. Is there any built in command in Asterisk for that ?

What are the options do I have ? Are there any sample code to do so ?

Thanks a lot
Regards

AGI()

In the AGI script do something like
print "SET VARIABLE my_return_var 123"

In the dialplan:
Verbose(1,My AGI script returned ${my_return_var});
