Hi All, I am trying to call a external script from Ser.cfg using exec_msg. It calls a shell script and from shell script I am running a java program which connects to Database and makes some queries for getting number of minutes dialled out by a customer. My problem is that how can I get the output of the java programme value to ser.cfg? I am doing like this exec_msg("sh -a /usr/local/ser/mobi.sh $SIP_USER;Some more commands required") I tried one approach, if the user crossed number of minutes then I am calling system.out(-1); telling unix OS that something went wrong and system.out(0); if user did not croos his number of minutes, but it is sometimes successful and fails sometimes. So please tell me how can get the output of java program, should I use system.out.print in java and grep for that but I do not know how can I do this ? I also have no idea whether this approach can be used or not? Please tell what should be used to acheive this? Any help will be sincerely appreciated. Thanks, Manoj.
