[arm-allstar] AutoSky Weather alerts not clearing.

[Doug Crompton]

First of all autosky is not a hamvoip creation but rather a rewrite of
someone else’s script adapted to our code. I have not seen the problem you
are seeing. It possibly might be an Internet issue. Are you running the
cron job every 4 minutes?

*/4 * * * * /usr/local/bin/AUTOSKY/AutoSky

This should stop any alerts when they are cleared.

The startup procedure looks like this if done manually -

/usr/local/bin/AUTOSKY/AutoSky

AutoSky not enabled - use AutoSky.ON to enable

/usr/local/bin/AUTOSKY/AutoSky.ON

(system announces autosky is on)

/usr/local/bin/AUTOSKY/AutoSky
AutoSky Xresult is 2

(the very first run might show a 2 which is an error)

/usr/local/bin/AUTOSKY/AutoSky
AutoSky Xresult is 1

(this will announce either an event or that all events are cleared)

/usr/local/bin/AUTOSKY/AutoSky
AutoSky Xresult is 0

(This is no change since last interrogation)

If you consistently get a result code of 2 when you manually run autosky
then there is something wrong. You can also look at the log and see if the
cron job is running.

If you have autosky starting automatically in rc.local (it would look like
this)

/usr/local/etc/rc.allstar   < AFTER THIS LINE ADD NEXT THREE >

/usr/local/bin/AUTOSKY/AutoSky
sleep 3
/usr/local/bin/AUTOSKY/AutoSky.ON

exit 0

Then after 3 intervals of 4 minutes you should see this in the log -

journalctl -f

autosky does work and many are using it.
