[arm-allstar] agi vs allstar -rx commands

[Doug Crompton]

Lowell,

  AGI is an interface not a language. See
https://www.voip-info.org/wiki-Asterisk+AGI

You need to call Asterisk however you would call any system command in the
scripting language you are using. What scripting language are you using?
Bash, Perl, Python?  Each has a method to pass variable to/from Asterisk
via AGI. Here is a simple bash example showing the passing of a filename
but it could be anything passed to a bash script and a value returned.

In extensions.conf

exten => 772,n,AGI(testit.sh|"node-id")
exten => 772,n,NoOp(Received answer: ${answer})
exten => 772,n,SayDigits(${answer})

script called testit.sh

#!/bin/bash
# Arguments from AGI call passed as $1, $2, $3, etc.
/usr/bin/asterisk -rx "rpt localplay 40000 $1"
# Return value example
VALUE=1234
echo -e "SET VARIABLE answer $VALUE"
