[arm-allstar] playnews-0.6

[AD2DX]

Stanley,
The executable is most likely not in the path. Try preceding it with ./ as in ./playnews and the rest

Doug, have the playnews file in the /etc/asterisk/local/playnews directory and did the rename to remove the -0.6. ls shows it there. When I try and run playnews ARRL NOW L it states -bash: playnews: command not found

What am I missing, permissions maybe?

I put a new version of playnews up on hamvoip.org<http://hamvoip.org> in the howto section. It includes a request for playing now in console mode. This is useful if you want to get everything ready to play and manually hit a key to start it.

http://hamvoip.org/downloads/playnews-0.6.tar.gz

Changes from 0.5

  - If you enter "now" for the time it will download and process the files, skip the pre-warnings, wait for any key to   be pressed and play the news.

  - The node number must be entered.

  - An optional last parameter L|G for local or global play can be entered. If omitted playback is global.

I recommend making a directory "playnews" in /etc/asterisk/local   cd to that directory and untar the files there.

Rename playnews-0.6 to playnews once extracted.

If the files are not placed in /etc/asterisk/local/playnews you must specify the location in the VOICEDIR variable in the script.

  v0.6 updates

   - Now requires that all parameters be entered except
     mode which defaults to global if not entered
   - More parameter checking added
   - Time can be set to "NOW" for immediate start

   Command line format - playnews ARRL|ARN 21:00|NOW 40000 L|G

 Options are ARRL or ARN news, specific 24 hour time or "NOW"
   and local "L" or Global "G" play modes.

   DO NOT use the the "NOW" time parameter in a cron !!!

Read the complete README file in the archive and also in the beginning of the script.
