asterisk users - Mar 2008 - using the System() command to call a script

I am wanting to call a shell script in System() command and it does not 
seem to work.

If I put a direct linux command it does work.
My script is owned by root and is executable.

Is this possible? What might I be missing?

A path?

Try specifying the absolute path to your script.

Try executing "system(set >/tmp/asterisks-environment) to see all the 
cruft.

(For extra points, try changing your Asterisk startup script to use "env 
--ignore-environment" to eliminate most of the cruft :)

Thanks in advance,
