[arm-allstar] Persistent connection

[Doug Crompton]

Tom,

 When you say persistent you mean permanent, *73<node> ??  I do that here
for many nodes but I use a script. The code in rpt.conf looks like this -

startup_macro = *A900           ; Macro to run at startup (optional)

This is placed in my primary nodes stanza

Then this in functions -

A900=cmd,/etc/asterisk/local/reconnect_local

reconnect_local is a script that has the nodes to connect to at boot. This
has always worked fine for me. I like to keep things in scripts rather than
internal to Allstar. If it is a timing problem at boot you could always put
a sleep statement in the script to delay until things are more stable.
However I have never had to do that. I do put 1 second delays between
connects just to be safe but I doubt it is necessary. Here is a portion on
my script. Nodes changed but you get the point.
l
#! /bin/bash

# Echolink
/usr/bin/asterisk -rx "rpt fun 40000 *7340001"
sleep 1
,,,,, next command etc....



*73 Doug*
