[arm-allstar] RPI3 Halt Button

[Doug Crompton]

Chris,

   I assume you are referring to the howto at the hamvoip.org web page. It
shows where to connect the switch on the Pi 2/3. The script for doing this
is included in the hamvoip release and is turned on by the flag in the
/usr/local/etc/allstar.env file. Here is how to do that.

- Enter the bash shell from the menu selection 9

Edit the file. Type -

nano /usr/local/etc/allstar.env

Scroll down to SHUTDOWN_MONITOR

Change "disabled" to "enabled"

Use Control x  to save the file - answer Y and then return.

reboot the system.

The bit should now work to halt the system. Remember you have to hold the
bit closed for greater than 5 seconds then release for it to work.
