[arm-allstar] crontab editing on BBB asterisk v1.2.1 and rx audio capture - recording

[Neil k8it]

Chris and Fred and others....
I got crontab modified ok but still do not know the name of the system profile filename to make the default editor choice permanent. I am running on a beagle bone black asterisk v1.2.1

Also is there a script or function that can record received audio and then let me pipe it to TTS_Audio.sh
the idea is to create a dtmf callable function macro  that captures received audio on the local simplex rf frequency, convert it to digital audio and plays it back. The cats meow implementation would help simplex link users set their audio properly

"export" will only carry the shell variable till the next time the shell is restarted, or the system rebooted, to make it permanent, it needs to be placed in your profile (you only) or the system profile if you want it to apply to all users. 

Not knowing what shell you are using.. something like 

echo "export EDITOR=nano" >> ~/.bashrc

will make it permanent.  The name of your profile file will change depending on what shell you are using.. .  Run a "ls -a" so you can see what hidden file you have in your home directory..  Fred

  Hi Neil,


  Use  the following command to set your default browser:   export EDITOR=nano 


  This will allow you to set the editor of your choosing.  If you used contab -e, it will use this edtor.  When the crontab is saved, the syntax is checked and valided before saving.  You will not need to restart crond, as it will pick up the entries when they are saved.


  Another userful crontab command is:


  crontab -l    



  This lists the crontab entry.
