Try the builtin log application and remember to set your logging level to DEBUG. http://wiki.freeswitch.org/wiki/Misc._Dialplan_Tools_log But if you're resolute on echoing to your own logfile use the event app: <action application="event" data="${system(/bin/echo ohai >> /tmp/log_file)}"/> HTH!

Hello,

I am troubleshooting and issue with my FS server. I would like to echo some text to the console for troubleshooting purpose. How can I do that?

I have added the following line right below <include> and it does not show up in the console or in the log file. That is the correct log file location. <X-PRE-PROCESS cmd="exec" data="echo ----------------------------this is a test------------------------------------------ >> /usr/local/freeswitch/log/freeswitch.log"/>
