System Command via AMI

Asterisk Asterisk Support

I’ve read a number of posts on how to accomplish this, yet can only seem to get it working “sortof”.

When submitting the following via AMI:

Trying 127.0.0.1...
Connected to localhost.
Escape character is '^]'.
Asterisk Call Manager/1.0
Action: Login

with the following in my extensions.conf

[dummy]
Exten => _X,1,Wait(2)
Exten => _X,2,NoOp

The originate “fails”, yet the “call” proceeds however the system command is never run.

The following appears in the /var/log/asterisk/full file:

What am I missing here?
