[arm-allstar] New weather script test

[Doug Crompton]

The only thing I can think of is if you are not playing it to a valid node
it obviously will not play. Doing it manually in the client and running the
script do the same thing. Add an echo before the localplay like this -

echo $node

if [ "$View" == "p" ] || [ "$View" == "b" ] || [ "$View" == "d" ]
    then {
        cat $FNAME > /tmp/current_wx.gsm
        /usr/bin/asterisk -rx "rpt localplay $node /tmp/current_wx"
        sleep 2
        rm -f /tmp/current_wx.gsm
} fi

Run it with a 'v'  and it should display the data and then the node number
before exiting. If that is not a valid node on your system and not one you
are listening on it will not play. The script has to be run on the same
server the node is on.
