[arm-allstar] WARNING[8726]: app_rpt.c:8497 rpt_tele_thread: ast_streamfile failed on DAHDI/pseudo-693103568

Background:

 

In the days before using Asterisk on the PI, we used to have a "weather
alert" command that would change the courtesy beep to a Morse "W".  In this
system, we didn't want to mess with the useful Courtesy beeps and wanted a
short, periodic voice indicating "Weather alert" but wanted it to not be
intrusive during a weather net.   We decided on using a tail message and
with our long 5 second hang time, these nicely pop in at intervals during
breaks in the action.  What I have is a couple of command strings that copy
a weather  alert voice file to the tail message:

 

# copy this command to /usr/local/sbin for the weather alert command

/bin/cp -f /etc/asterisk/local/weather_alert.gsm
/etc/asterisk/local/tail_msg.gsm

 

To silence the tail message, I copy a null file to the tail_msg.gsm.

 

It all works great and the group likes it but I get a periodic error on the
CLI screen fussing about the null message when the alert is off.   It's been
like this for a while and doesn't seem to hurt anything but it ascethically
bothers me.   

 

Is there a better way to skin this cat?

P.S.  Now have 3 of 4 nodes on 1.5 release and very happy with it.
