[arm-allstar] A way to automate when another node connects

[Doug Crompton]

Jim,

 I quickly threw together this script. It will get you started. It may not
be exactly what you want. It disconnects one specific node based on another
specific node connecting. It could be modified to do many things. Note the
actual Asterisk commands are commented out for test. You must have smlogger
running as noted in the script.
If you don't understand scripting and you need me to further explain or
change let me know. I would need to specifically know what you want to do.
Possibly disconnect all connected nodes when another connect was made?

cat node-check.sh


#!/bin/bash

#  Connect/Disconnect second node
#  based on first node connected
#  Uses smlogger. If not using
#  supermon add to rpt.conf in the
#  node stanza you are checking -
#
#  connpgm=/usr/local/sbin/supermon/smlogger 1
#  discpgm=/usr/local/sbin/supermon/smlogger 0

if [ -z $1 ] || [ -z $2 ] || [ -z $3 ]
  then
   echo -e "\nnode-check.sh <mynode> <node1> <node2>"
   echo -e "\n  Check if node1 connects and disconnect node2"
   echo -e "  If node 1 disconnects reconnect node1\n"
   exit
fi

mynode=$1
logfile="/var/log/asterisk/connectlog"

while true
do
 tail -fqn0 $logfile | \
 while read line ; do
        result=`echo "$line" | grep "$prefix $2"`
        if [ $? = 0 ]
        then
         # echo "$result"
         if [[ $result == *"Connect"* ]]
           then
            # do connect things
            echo "Connect $2 to $mynode - Disconnect $3 from $mynode"
            prefix="Disconnected Allstar"
        # asterisk -rx "rpt fun $mynode *1$3"
