I cannot seem to get a cmd to run a script from the rpt.conf. I have a script in the folder /etc/asterisk/local called hello.sh The script works fine if I run it from the command line. However, I would like to attach it to a dtmf command. I have tried multiple numbers in the functions stanza but none of them work. eg. 819 = cmd,/etc/asterisk/local/hello using \*819 as a dtmf yields nothing at all. Has anyone managed to get a dtmf code attached to a script file in ASL3? ---

Make sure your file is owned and executable by the asterisk user. > **[Permissions - AllStarLink Manual](https://allstarlink.github.io/adv-topics/permissions/#filesystem-permissions)** > > AllStarLink Manual ---

EDIT: - ok still permissions down the line - managed to get it working. ok - have checked the permissions. script is called saytime.sh in this case. ls -l shows the following permissions. -rwxr-xr-x 1 root asterisk 97 Oct 21 16:46 saytime.sh Running the script at the command line works every time. rpt.conf has the following line under the functions stanza 819 = cmd,/etc/asterisk/local/saytime I still get nothing when I run \*819 dtmf on the node. ---

If your file is `saytime.sh` on disk, then the file needs to be `saytime.sh` in `rpt.conf`. The “no file extension” thing is limited to sound files so Asterisk can pick the best format from a set of options. ---
