'export MYIP' in the startup script for Asterisk.

I was only trying to demonstrate that my special variable MYIP was indeed in the environment of the shell. I suspect it's not in the Asterisk process environment - why I dunno.

I'll look at that tomorrow but suspect I'll never be able to read the MYIP variable from Asterisk.

Thanks for your reply Ioan.

Very interesting.  ${ENV(PATH)} works to display the path
but ${ENV(MYIP)} does not!

There must be a list in Asterisk that only allows cerain environmental variables to be shown. A very unnecessary bummer.


Right.

However, at the CLI prompt:
! echo $PATH and  ! echo $MYIP
both work fine.

However This is incorrect: '!' only works in a remote asterisk terminal: a connection from a different process (on the same system) to the running
Asterisk process.

It will run a subshell of thatremote process. So it is not necessarily
related to the environment of the Asterisk process.

Also: when running something in System(), note that you run a
subprocess, and that this subprocess may have its own separate
environment.
