asterisk users - Jul 2009 - Originate (Executing a System Command)

I know I'm doing something simple and wrong, but I can't quite figure it
out:
Example (executing system command): Action: Originate
Channel: Local/1 at dummy
Application: System
<http://www.voip-info.org/wiki/view/Asterisk+cmd+System>
Data: /path/to/script

I keep getting a "Unable to request channel" and am not sure what it
is
looking for in place of "Local/1 at dummy".

The script is an internal voice delivery to my agents (among other things
I'd like to do)

Thanks!
PB

Why not just Local/1 (unless your server is actually named dummy)?

Do you have the dummy context with the 1 extension in your dialplan with 
something like this? Did you reload it and check it within the CLI?

[dummy]
exten => 1,1,Answer()
exten => 1,n,Wait(2)
exten => 1,n,Hangup()

The application (your external command) won't be launched until the 
Origiante channel is answered.
