[arm-allstar] Global playback command

[Doug Crompton]

The playback command is global. The localplay command is local. So:

rpt playback 40000 somefile

would play global

rpt localplay 40000 somefile

would play local. You always omit the file extent. So no .gsm or .wav etc.

you could do this in a cron as such

00 20 * * 0 /usr/bin/asterisk -rx "rpt playback 40000 somefile"

This would play somefile from node 40000 at 8PM every Sunday.
