[arm-allstar] remote base node functioning question

Hello group,
Over the last two months I've been making some good progress with using
BBBs to control frequency agility of Syntor X radios outfitted with xcat
memory replacement modules. This came from the need of having frequency
agility of both radios on a controller with no remote base support. I
almost have a working solution here, but need a little help with a node
connection/functioning problem I'm having.

Allow me to describe my setup. I have two BBBs, one with a URI hooked to a
hardware repeater controller. Both BBBs have a USB-serial adapter, which
connects to the xcat modules in my two remote base radios. Both remote base
radios are interfaced to the hardware repeater controller. Each BeagleBone
has the two nodes that it comes with stock; your "allstar" node, and a
private "pseudo" node (comes as 1999) I defined the pseudo nodes as remote
bases, and added the proper stanzas in app_rpt for the xcat.

I can now control a radio by connecting the "URI" allstar node to the
desired radio's pseudo node, then function the pseudo node for things like
memory, frequency, PL etc. Problem is once I'm done, I can't seem to
disconnect with a *3 from the pseudo node. Even funnier, if I just ignore
this and connect to the other pseudo node, the functioning I send to the
newly connected pseudo node goes to the wrong pseudo node.

Is there some script to make a control-op command that can restart
asterisk? This would be clumsy as heck, but it might be the only simple
solution to this weird bug.

Thanks for reading and 73
