[arm-allstar] Schedule issue with Allstar Pi

[Jeff Savasta]

Hello All,

I have a slight schedule issue using the schedule scripting in the Pi.

I made a macro to connect to a certain Echolink conference. For arguments
sake its *522. It works fine when I bring it up with the DTMF pad on the
HT.

I then scheduled the macro via the scheduler in rpt.conf  to connect to a
specific Echolink node on a certain date and time every week. The entry is

22=57 19 * * 1

This in fact tells the Pi to connect every Monday night at 1957 hrs via
that macro.

The problem is that I hear the Pi attempt the connect as Allison announces
it but instead of saying connected, it says connection failed. If I connect
via Allmon or DTMF, it works fine???

My buddy advised that he had a similar problem and had to schedule a cron
job to successfully execute the command? Anybody know why that would be the
case and if it is, what is the scheduler good for?

Also, if I need to use a cron job to do this, where can i find programming
information to do this? I am unfamiliar with it?

Thanks all,

Jeff
