[arm-allstar] Cron Jobs

[Doug Crompton]

Dave,

 Remember that cron is 24 hour time. So 9PM would be 21 00 or reverse in cron. The correct way would be: 

To disconnect all nodes

20 21 * * 1 /usr/sbin/asterisk -rx   "rpt fun <yournode> *76"   

or to just specifically disconnect a node

20 21 * * 1 /usr/sbin/asterisk -rx "rpt fun <yournode> *7127225"   

Connecting

50 20 * * 1 /usr/sbin/asterisk -rx "rpt fun <yournode> *7327225"

<yournode>  is the node on your server you want to apply the command to. Of course no < or > around it, just the node number. It must be a node on your server.

Also I don't usually do it this way. I call scripts instead like this -

00 18 20 12 * /etc/asterisk/local/alaska_connect

The script would look like this -

#! /bin/bash
#
/usr/sbin/asterisk -rx "rpt fun 27225 *7327133"

Either way works fine. It is your preference. The advantage of the script is you could also call it with DTMF if programmed in rpt.conf functions.
