The script you specify (e.g. externnotify=myscript.sh) runs every time a new message is left for a user or when a user exits the VoiceMailMain() application (for instance, if they have dialled in to clean up their mailbox).
The voicemail application passes certain things as parameters to your script such as number of new/old messages etc - for more info and example script take a look here: http://www.voip-info.org/wiki/view/Asterisk+config+voicemail.conf Cheers, Charles On 12 March 2013 19:45, Daniel W.
