[arm-allstar] syntax to load a variable via dtmf

Neil,

 I am not sure what you are asking "load a variable"  Do you mean pass a variable?  Here is an example from the rpt.conf file for 24 hour time -

82=cmd,/usr/local/sbin/say24time.pl 27225

When *82 is sent it runs the file  say24time.pl and passes the variable 27225, the node number to say the time on. This would be the same as typing -  say24time.pl 27225 at the Linux prompt.

The path and file could be anything available on your system and you could pass multiple variables if desired. The variables are returned differently in the actual program depending on what language it is. For bash the above variable would be passed as $1 for Perl as in the example above it is passed as $ARGV[0]

Is this what you are asking?

I forgot the syntax to load a string variable with a DTMF  code
such as
888 = /temp/xyz.txt="P"

Laroy,

 Glad 
to hear you got it going. The voice feedback is of course optional. I attached a 
sound file that might be more appropriate if you want one. Just put it in 
/etc/asterisk/local   and change the path and filename in the 
localplay line in change_telemetry.sh

Doug,
So I could not wait till later to try 
this. lol

It works well.  Just not sure what "T-changed-to" is 
supposed to say.

It says "has been changed to" and the telemetry 
number.

Great job.  Thanks

  OK, here is a 
  reasonable way to do it that seems to work well. There is a little setup but 
  it should not take too long. Follow these steps -

Put the attached 
  script in /etc/asterisk/local

Make it executable

chmod 750 
  change_telemetry.sh

Backup your rpt.conf file

Make a new 
  directory if it does not already exist in /etc/asterisk called 
  custom

Edit the primary rpt.conf file and copy (cut and paste or 
  whatever) the telemetry section in entirety.

Save the telemetry section 
  you copied out of rpt.conf to /etc/asterisk/custom/telemetry.conf

Also 
  copy it to /etc/asterisk/custom/telemetry1    and   
  telemetry2 

This assumes you will have two telemetry changes. If you 
  will have more copy to more telemetry files telemetry3, telemetry4, 
  etc.

Go back to the rpt.conf file and either delete or comment (your 
  choice) ALL lines in the telemetry section you just copied out. When you are 
  done there should be no active telemetry section in rpt.conf

Go to the 
  end of the rpt.conf file and change the last line to this 
  -

#includeifexists custom/telemetry.conf

Go to the 
  /etc/asterisk/custom directory and edit the files for the different telemetry 
  settings you want. telemetry.conf and telemetry1 should not be edited - they 
  will be the stock files. Edit telemetry2, 3, 4 etc. however many different 
  tone groups you want to define. You can have as many as you want, just give 
  them consecutive numbers and remember them by number.

Once the files 
  are saved run the change_telemetry program. It is set at start to only 
  accept  two files - telemetry1 and 2 - change the MAX_FILE parameter in 
  the script to the number of definitions you have (telemetryx files in the 
  custom directory.) 

You can run the script manually to see how it 
  works. It does not effect Allstar operation. You can change at any 
  time.

change_telemetry x        - 
  where x equals the file number

Once this is all working you can call 
  the script either directly from a function, via the autopatch, cron, 
  etc.

function section 
  example....

811=cmd,/etc/asterisk/local/change_telemetry 
  1
812=cmd,/etc/asterisk/local/change_telemetry 
  2
813=cmd,/etc/asterisk/local/change_telemetry 
  3
etc.

then DTMF 

*811  - default 
  telemetry
*812  - Telemetry values 2
etc.

What this 
  does.

 The telemetry section is removed from rpt.conf. rpt.conf is 
  then setup to call telemetry.conf in the /etc/asterisk/custom directory. The 
  change_telemetry.sh then copies different definition files to telemetry files 
  to telemetry.conf based on a number. It then reloads rpt.conf and sends an 
  audible message to the user.

Things to remember - 

if you run 
  setup again the rpt.conf file will be overwritten. You will have to delete the 
  telemetry section and add the last line again.

Always leave at least 
  one file - preferably telemetry1 - as the default stock values.

The 
  mapping in rpt.conf should not need to be changed. For instance if 
  unlinkct=ct2  and you wanted to change it you would change the ct2 
  definition in the telemetry section in one of the files.

The 
  change_telemetry script announces the change locally on the primary node given 
  in the environment variable NODE1. If you want it to speak on a different node 
  you need to change the node in the voice lines in the change_telemetry 
  script.

I hope this helps or at least gives you ideas of how to do it. 
  Let me know how it works for you and if you have any questions I would be glad 
  to answer them.

Subject: Re: [arm-allstar] Courtesy tones


  Is there any way to dynamically change the 
  courtesy tones?
Maybe thru the event management subsystem?

Or is the 
  only way to read the definitions from rpt.conf?
I know I could always use a 
  script to edit rpt.conf and then reload, but was just hoping of some other way 
  to do it.

remotetx  That

      LaRoy,

  linkunkeyct  when 
      connected and someone on the network unkeys.  But your local radio 
      unkey is set by the remotetx tone group in the telemetry stanza.

So 
      if you change linkunkeyct you would not hear the change unless someone 
      else on the connected network unkeys. You could test this by connecting 
      two locals nodes together.  That is why I mentioned it is confusing 
      because you expect it to change when you are connected and unkey and it 
      doesn't. Also always remember to 'reload rpt' in the client after a 
      change.

Subject: [arm-allstar] Courtesy tones

Ok, 
      I've been racking my brain trying to figure this out.

The courtesy 
      tone on a single node when a users unkeys is 
      unlinkedct.

The courtesy tone changes when this node 
      connects to another node via the internet.
What courtesy tone variable 
      is used when the local user unkeys and the two nodes are linked 
      together?
