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

Mon May 18 14:10:05 EST 2015

Neil,

 Do a 'cd' at the linux prompt  cd with nothing after it. This will put you in the root home directory. Then edit the file called  .bash_profile  -  dot bash underscore profile

Here is an example -

alias ls="ls --color"
alias ll="ls -lias"
alias l="ls -CF"
alias la="ls --color -a"
alias cp='cp -iv'
alias rm='rm -iv'
alias mv='mv -iv'
alias nslookup='nslookup -silent'

export EDITOR=/usr/bin/nano

# source the allstar variables
End of example

Skip to after the alias lines and add the line 

export EDITOR=/usr/bin/nano

When you reboot the nano editor should be the default for crontab -e 

I will answer your second question in another message.

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.
