Neil,

I'm not exactly sure what you're asking. Would something like this work:

82=cmd,/bin/bash -c 'echo A > /tmp/xyz.txt'

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]

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.

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.

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.
