[arm-allstar] Cron help

[Brett Friermood]

Write a simple shell script with the commands to disconnect the 4 nodes.
Then use cron to run that script rather than the commands directly.

Sample Script:

#! /bin/bash
/usr/sbin/asterisk -rx "rpt fun 27806 *141630"
/usr/sbin/asterisk -rx "rpt fun 27806 *141631"
/usr/sbin/asterisk -rx "rpt fun 27806 *141632"
/usr/sbin/asterisk -rx "rpt fun 27806 *141633"

Sample crontab entry:

0 22 * * * /path/to/script

This example would disconnect nodes those four nodes every night at 10:00.

An alternative would be to put the individual commands in cron for the same
time, but the script way is cleaner.
