[arm-allstar] A Script to Change Courtesy tones

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.

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.

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.

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?
