[arm-allstar] Power fail script

[Luc Drolet VE2LUQ]

Good evening Doug,

To put the script in our raspberry PI, can you tell us what is the best place on the PI rasberry
in /etc/asterisk/local or somewhere else?

I read your text and if I understand correctly we can change the give as 5 minutes to 10 minutes for the transmission delay if there is a power failure
so if it works well in my opinion the best place will be in /etc/asterisk/local?

Thank you for your execllent work

This could be achieved by a SPDT relay or a clean 3V (no more!) source powered from the mains. Of course to use this the Pi must be powered from a source independent of the mains.
