[arm-allstar] macro question

Thu Sep 3 21:57:42 EST 2015

Neil,

 You could define multiple functions that called the same script with different parameters or channels. In this case *D1 through *D3 would set channels 1-3. You can add more as you wish and even process additional parameters.
D1=cmd,/etc/asterisk/local/set_channel 1 
D2=cmd,/etc/asterisk/local/set_channel 2
D3=cmd,/etc/asterisk/local/set_channel 3
etc....

Then in the script test the parameter and execute the proper command or just use the parameter in the call to the command.

# !/bin/bash

if [ -z $1 ]
 then
   echo "No channel given (1-16)"
   exit 0
fi

case "$1" in

  1) Echo "Channel 1"
     # command for channel 1 to asterisk put here
     ;;

  2) echo "Channel 2"
    # command for channel 2 to asterisk put here
     ;;

  3) echo "Channel 3"
     # command for channel 3 to asterisk put here
     ;;
#etc.... add channels

esac

exit

By the way Dave, KB4FXC commented to me that you could use the dialplan in extensions .conf to do this and that is exactly what I did years ago in a script to control my X10 system from the phone in Asterisk.

Here is an example -

[controlx10]
exten => s,1,background(doug/enter_x10)
exten => s,n,Set(TIMEOUT(response)=4)
exten => s,n,Set(TIMEOUT(digit)=1)
exten => s,n,WaitExten()
exten => s,n,Goto(s,1)

exten => _1.,1,System(/usr/local/bin/x10 on ${EXTEN:1})
exten => _1.,n,SayNumber(${EXTEN:1})
exten => _1.,n,Playback(on)
exten => _1.,n,Goto(s,1)

exten => _0.,1,System(/usr/local/bin/x10 off ${EXTEN:1})
exten => _0.,n,SayNumber(${EXTEN:1})
exten => _0.,n,Playback(off)
exten => _0.,n,Goto(s,1)

exten => _3.,1,System(/usr/local/bin/x10 dim ${EXTEN:1})
;exten => _3.,1,noop(${EXTEN:1})
exten => _3.,n,Goto(s,1)

exten => _4.,1,System(/usr/local/bin/x10 bright ${EXTEN:1})
exten => _4.,n,Goto(s,1)

exten => _5.,1,System(/usr/local/bin/x10 allon ${EXTEN:1})
exten => _5.,n,Goto(s,1)

exten => _6.,1,System(/usr/local/bin/x10 alloff ${EXTEN:1})
exten => _6.,n,Goto(s,1)

;exten => 4,1,Playback(goodbye)
;exten => 4,n,Hangup()

exten => *,1,Return()
exten => #,1,Hangup()

This would need to be setup in Allstar but could work. I think for now an easier and more straightforward way would be to use the script method I proposed above if it works for you.

Thanks Doug. And yes I agree with using scripts. What I am trying to do is 
respond to a users DTMF digits for a remote base application. I now have written 
script code using hamlib to control my TMV71A radio. it works good but only has 
a few preprogrammed memories based on which macro you use.
I would like to instead receive three DTMF digits and process them before 
passing them to the radio via hamlib. Somehow there is a way!
If I call a script
is it possible to call an asterisk function from within the script  to 
receive three DTMF digits directly to the script for more processing?

Thanks

Neil,

 I 
don't think you can pass parameters to a macro. There would be no way to test 
for vlaues. Why not call a script and pass parameters there. here is an example 
from rpt.conf. This is defined in the [functions] section. *A1 would call this 
and execute sayip.sh.  27225 is the passed 
parameter.

A1=cmd,/usr/local/sbin/sayip.sh 27225 

The in the 
sayip.sh script $1 is then defined as 27225.  You can have multiple 
parameters so if it were -

A1=cmd,/usr/local/sbin/sayip.sh 1 2 
3

Then in the script $1 would =1, $2 would = 2, and $3 would 
=3.

This yet again shows the power of using scripts over built-in 
code.
