[arm-allstar] Hourly weather announcements

[George]

Hi Doug,
Thank you for the steps to do this.  A few questions.
1. crontab edited ok.2. looked at rpt.conf.  I do not have a line similar to the one in your initial message.  What I have looks like the following:
****************************************************************************
80=status,11    ; ID (local)
81=status,12    ; Time of Day (local)

; Say 24 hour time - change to your node
82=cmd,/usr/local/sbin/say24time.pl 49246

         and further down

1=*81 *80#    ; play time and voice ID
********************************************************************
So where exactly do I put the statement that is in the same format of *82 from your email?
3. If I wanted a 2 second delay at the start of the announcement how would I do that?
4. If I wanted to add "Redmond Oregon" after my call, how could I do that?
As always, Doug, thanks for the very prompt answers to questions.  You and the others at Hamvoip (staff and users) are just fantastic. Regards,
George, NJ3H

George,

 Quite easy.  Edit your cron -

crontab -e

Carefully edit it to add your zip code -

00 0-23 * * * (source /usr/local/etc/allstar.env ; /usr/bin/nice -19
/usr/bin/perl /usr/local/sbin/saytime.pl 18954 $NODE1 > /dev/null)

The preceding line is all one line. You can see the 18954 which is my zip
code. In your line replace that with your zip code. Don't change anything
else.

Save it and it will report the time and weather condition at the top of the
hour as well as the time.

You also have the option of doing this at any time manually by typing

saytime.pl <zip> <node>

Or adding it to a function in rpt.conf as shown here.  Stock code only has
the node not the zip. Edit rpt.conf and add the zip, restart asterisk and
*81 will also have the weather temp and condition.

81=cmd,/usr/local/sbin/saytime.pl 18954 42291
