Doug,
I'll play with this later today when I have more time. I was invoking it
from the command line, and there could be a syntax issue. For example, I
was using "now" instead of "NOW" per the instructions given at
http://www.qsl.net/w2ymm/news_script.html so not sure if that was it or
not. From the command line, I was sending:
/etc/asterisk/local/playnews/playnews-0.11 ARN now 27065 G
and also
/etc/asterisk/local/playnews/playnews-0.11 ARN now 27065
N5ZUA
