Unless someone else chimes in (who knows for sure)...
I wonder if Asterisk restricts location of file it will run. Try moving to
/var/lib/asterisk as a test and see if it executes
Next I would start to wonder about the other obvious stuff...very hard to see if
you have been looking at it for hours. Try 777 permission on the file and
perhaps up the path leading to the file. (just to experiment)
Try complete service restart of Asterisk
...and after that I'm out of helpful ideas. You may have to retrace your
steps for something you missed, since this all seems pretty straight forward.
(I haven't tryied, but if verbose it up on the CLI will you see a
message/error when ast tries to run your scrip)

Subject: Re: [asterisk-users] externnotify script not running
These were all good ideas. I changed my script to a bash script called
deliver_vm.sh:
=====================================================#!/bin/bash
echo testme >> /home/phones/test.txt
=====================================================
The permissions are correct:
# ls -la commands/deliver_vm.*
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 254 Mar 16 21:12 commands/deliver_vm.pl -rwxrwxrwx 1 root
root 50 Mar 17 14:17 commands/deliver_vm.sh
It does run from the command line, but still not from Asterisk.
It feels like a configuration issue in Asterisk. Here is what I have:
externnotify=/home/phones/commands/deliver_vm.sh ${VM_NAME} ${VM_DUR} $
{VM_MSGNUM} ${VM_MAILBOX} ${VM_CALLERID} ${VM_DATE}
After I made the change, I did:
module reload app_voicemail.so
Anything else I can check/do?
Thanks again,
Mike.
