[cisco-voip] Invoking An Application from Within IPCC

[Jim Reed]

Okay, the old guy is back with a question on his old version of IPCC 4.x.  Forgive us for we do not have the money to upgrade!

Is it possible to invoke an executable from within IPCC and send it a command string.  What I want to do is execute a little applet called sendEmail and pass it all the necessary info to send out the eMail.  The reason being that - as far as I can determine - you can only configure one eMail server in this version of IPCC.  However, we had the situation where the eMail server went down and using the send eMail command from within the script didn't work because - as previously stated - the server was down.  However, if I can invoke the applet sendEmail from within IPCC, I can configure the script to send eMail via two (2) different servers and, thus, if one is down, the other is not likely to be.

Or possibly a way to send to two (2) different eMail servers from directly within the execution of the script itself.

Here is a typical string for sendEMail:
SendEMail -f jreed at cmnm.org -t jreed at cmnm.org -s smtp.cmnm.org:25 -xp swiftnews -u "eMail Subject Goes Here" -m "eMail Body Goes Here"

Thanks in advance for any advice and my apologies for bring up old memories...
