Description:I've this in my dialplan:
exten => 3204,1,System(asterisk -rx'restart now');
exten => 3204,2,Playback(beep);

which is transfered to:
debian*CLI> show dialplan 3204@test_sip
[ Context 'test_sip' created by 'pbx_config' ]
 '3204' =>         1. System(asterisk -rxrestart now)            [pbx_config]
                   2. Playback(beep)                             [pbx_config]

-= 1 extensions (2 priorities) in 1 contexts. =-
debian*CLI>
into my dialplan, please remark there's no quotes.

and this is the CLI output:
   -- Executing System("SIP/101-dee6", "asterisk -rxrestart now") in new stack
   -- Remote UNIX connection
   -- Remote UNIX connection disconnected
   -- Executing Playback("SIP/101-dee6", "beep") in new stack
   -- Playing 'beep' (language 'en')

which the "restart now" doesn't occurs.


****** ADDITIONAL INFORMATION ******

I know, i could make a script like reboot.sh, and put my asterisk -rx'restart now' on it, but it wouldn't fix the problem with quotes.

I can escape the ' with \ before each chars, like:
exten => 3204,1,System(asterisk -rx\'restart now\');
exten => 3204,2,Playback(beep);

which gives me:
debian*CLI> show dialplan 3204@test_sip
[ Context 'test_sip' created by 'pbx_config' ]
 '3204' =>         1. System(asterisk -rx'restart now')          [pbx_config]
                   2. Playback(beep)                             [pbx_config]

-= 1 extensions (2 priorities) in 1 contexts. =-
debian*CLI>

and unfortunatly, the "restart now" occurs correctly.


Is there a easy tweak to save us writing the escaping char before each '? If not, i think we can close this bug. Otherwise, it would be cool have this little tweak.

Nopers, that's how it's supposed to work :)
