[arm-allstar] ARRL/ARnewsline script change

[Neil Sablatzky]

Doug the script Works great in the playnews directory using this syntax
./playnews ARRL 21:00 40000

However when I go in to the rpt.conf function stanza and add this DTMF command it does not work
930=cmd, /etc/asterisk/local/playnews "./playnews ARRL 21:00 40000"
What should I do different? 
Thanks 73 Neil K8IT

Can you point me in the right direction and then give me a big shove? I'm guessing I need to drop the files into the /etc/asterisk/local directory but need a little more info. I'm using a RPi 2 ....I'm wanting to do AR Newsline specifically. I am thinking I'd like to put this on a stand alone node and just tie it in on Sunday when we do Ar Newsline and our net. I have been doing this manually, pre-recording and editing with 6 second pauses every 2 minutes or so with Audacity, then manually keying it into our system  through an audio  mixer.  It works ok but I need to babysit the entire broadcast. It's been becoming a bit of a PITA!
