[arm-allstar] weather script

[Christopher Kovacs]

What are you trying to play?  Weather alert, forecast, or reports?
Remember can take up to 20 minutes for the data to be downloaded based upon
the cron entries.


Did you run wx_config.sh script to configure?  If so, can you post the cron
entries using the command below:

     crontab -l

County ID is for Alerts and has a "C" in the ID, NWS Zones is for Forecast
and has a "Z" in the ID, and the weather underground begins with K. (I am
currently updated the howto for the next release)

In the above rpt.conf file you have a typo:

; Play local wx alert, *987
987=localpay,/tmp/wx/alert/MEC005//alert_short


*should be:*

; Play local wx alert, *987
987=localplay,/tmp/wx/alert/MEC005/alert_short

Since you followed the howto, did you see any audio files (*.ul) files in
the /tmp/wx directories?
