Cannot specify interpreter path in AGI call

[Ariel Wainer]

When trying to call an AGI script like this

exten => 1234,n,AGI(/path/to/interpreter /path/to/script,args)

Asterisk says:
 WARNING[19529]: res_agi.c:1621 launch_script: Failed to execute '/path/to/interpreter /path/to/script': File does not exist.

This is not serious, as in most cases it can be worked around by specifying the interpreter path on the script first line. It could however pose a problem for Java, where de interpreter is not usually placed on a standard path.
This happens on :1.8.10.1~dfsg-1ubuntu1.

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better.

This is the sort of thing that would be best fixed upstream - it's probably best not to make distro-specific changes in this area. Have you considered testing for this problem in the original upstream release and reporting the problem to Asterisk's bug tracker?

[Ariel Wainer (ariel-cafelug)]

I agree, it should be fixed upstream, I'll test it on the latest version and report to asterisk bugtracker.

Asterisk people didn't agree this is a bug: https://issues.asterisk.org/jira/browse/ASTERISK-21812
Should we close this one as well?

[Robie Basak (racb)]

Thanks for following this up with upstream. Marking Invalid in line with upstream's decision.

Just for the future peoplen finding this issue, this works:
Instead of:
exten => 1234,n,AGI(/path/to/interpreter /path/to/script,args)
Do:
exten => 1234,n,AGI(/path/to/interpreter,/path/to/script,args)
