[arm-allstar] no audio from the weather alert scripts

Hi LaRoy,
Please do not modify the wx_scripts.conf_NEW.
This file is the template file that is used to create the wx_scripts.conf
file when you run the wx_config.sh script. You should not change that file
or for that matter any configuration file manually. The reason why the
script was keeping the _WXVOL_ value is that you change the
wx_scripts.conf_NEW. The wx_script.conf uses this file as a template. When
you change the WXVOL manually, it prevented the template to write the
correct value to wx_scripts.conf file.
I agree, the bug is that the script is looking for the getWxRpt_ug cron
entry before updating the volume entry. Since I always use the getWXRpt_ug
on my nodes, I never came across this issue.
You are correct,regarding the "sed" location as it should be moved to that
location in the code.
Please revert the /usr/local/etc/wx/wx_scripts.conf_NEW file to the
original file; I've attached a copy. The WXVOL should change values when
running the wx_config.sh script in the /usr/local/etc/wx/wx_scripts.conf
file after that.
We can further work this issue off-list if needed or schedule some talk
time together.
73, and Thanks,
Chris, w0anm
