Tony,

 You can't use $node - you need to put your actual node number in there!

$NODE1  should be the first node on your server. It has to be caps! Do

echo $NODE1 at the Linux prompt.

But better to just use the actual node number you want to play on. You need
to play it by specifying the script not playing the file out of /tmp.

wx_condition.sh KPHL 40000

would play Philadelphia airport weather to node 40000.

That node must be on the same server where the script is running. It play
locally.


*73 Doug*
