Also keep in mind that if you are using a common path, you should be mindful of race conditions that could result from two calls running SHELL() simultaneously.When using the SHELL() dialplan function, your \SHELL\ is /bin/sh, which may differ as to the underlying shell, depending upon your production platform.
