4 thoughts on - Extensions.conf Asterisk 18.8.0 Question

• 1. Does your asterisk instance run as user “silentm”?

  2. What happens if you add the “-f” parameter to the “rm” command in the dialplan?

  3. What does “sudo -u asteriskuser rm /tmp/test.incoming.txt” do, if you run it as the root user, and substituting whichever user your asterisk instance runs as in place of “asteriskuser”?

  A user interface is like a joke. If you have to explain it, it means it doesn’t work.

  If you’re on RHEL or CentOS or one of its descendants, I would check if SELinux is enforcing (`sestatus` or `cat /etc/selinux/config` and look for “SELINUX=enforcing”), if it is, you’ll probably need to create a policy to allow the Asterisk context to execute rm and/or delete files. I use `audit2why` and `audit2allow` in policycoreutils-devel (on CentOS) to generate SELinux policy modules.

• Oh, now that reminds me that those systems also tend to alias “rm” to “rm -i”, so they won’t delete files without confirmation.

  Irritating in general IMHO, but it might be the cause of your puzzlement…

• If you’re executing /usr/bin/rm directly, shell aliases will have no effect.
