I happen to have some old crufty code in PHP that generates a call file to trigger an AGI.
Look at function callagi() in https://github.com/stgnet/stgagi/blob/master/stgagi.php This works in a FreePBX environment where the Asterisk process is running as user "asterisk". There are several other hard coded assumptions such as paths, but the code should give you an idea how to make it work for you. Note that Asterisk will normally delete the call file as soon as it sees it and begins the call. There is an exception to this where the Archive flag in the call file instructs Asterisk to move the file to another directory and update it with the completion status. For full details on the call file contents, see: https://wiki.asterisk.org/wiki/display/AST/Asterisk+Call+Files On Sun, Dec 27, 2015 at 9:14 PM, er ic <email.eherr9...@gmail.com> wrote: > I am hoping to get some help here with building custom PHP to manage a > 'wake up call' system. > > I have the script where the user can set the schedule for an extension > wake up call. > > It appears to write to the /var/spool/asterisk/outgoing/ directory. > > My two issues: > > 1 - when the files do get moved over to outgoing/ directory via a cron > job, the permissions show "-rw-r--r-- 1 apache apache 100 Jan 1 2016 > 5680a312a28b2.call" and the calls get sent when the date comes to pass.

I know my scripts themselves work because when I chown > apache:apache /var/spool/asterisk/outgoing the script works.
