[arm-allstar] New weather script test

Thu Jun 15 13:07:31 EST 2017

It's very good work, Doug, and the shell script makes it easily 
customizable. My node seems to be missing a component when using mode=b:

...
cat: /var/lib/asterisk/sounds/wx/north.gsm: No such file or directory

Where do I find the missing component(s), please.

[root at allstar sbin]# ls /var/lib/asterisk/sounds/wx/
around.gsm     dew-point.gsm  foot.gsm        gusts.gsm humidity.gsm  
kilometer.gsm  mist.gsm       percent.gsm southeast.gsm  temperature.gsm
