Re: [Pyst-users] trouble with external command

thanks Daniel, that did the trick

I guess /usr/local/bin/ is not in the path used by agi's....  seems so odd
though that it would work if I ran it outside of an agi as the asterisk
user, I would think the paths would be the same since both run as the
asterisk user...

anyway, it works now, which is what's most important to me :)

thanks again!
