[arm-allstar] Remote NODE

Wed Feb 6 01:55:28 EST 2019

Luc,

   The Asterisk remote command in hamvoip Allstar has been turned off by
default because of its inherent insecurity. While you could turn it back on
a better approach might be to use Supermon with remote management. If you
don't have a screen available such as in a mobile situation your could use
a script to send ssh commands to control the node in question. This script
could certainly be expanded on but gives you the idea. In order to use it
you need to know the IP address of the node you want to control. Again the
address could be automated since we know the address for public nodes. For
private nodes you would need to specify it. right now this script is hard
wired for control of one remote node l but again it could be made more
flexible with more parameters. This script would be called from DTMF
functions setup on the controlling server so DTMF could be used on the
controlling server. You could further expand this using the autopatch DTMF
parameter passing (howto at hamvoip.org) and pass the actual node number in
the DTMF sequence. For now though if you decide to try it go simple and
hardwire it and use a different script for each remote node you want to
control. The script could be named to indetify it by the remote node
number. Obviously you must have a valid login on the system you want to
control.

Example function to connect the remote node to node 40000
D3=cmd,/root/remote-command.sh *340000

Example function to disconnect all connected nodes from the remote node
D76=cmd,/root/remote-command.sh *76

Example to play the time on the remote node
D81=cmd,/root/remote-command.sh *81

and here is the remote-command.sh script -

#!/bin/bash
# Doug, WA3DSP 2/2019
#
#  This script logs into a remote system executes an Asterisk command and
logs out
#
# Command examples
# remote-command.sh <command>
# remote-command.sh *81
# remote-command.sh *340000
# remote-command.sh *76

# Send remote ssh command automatically

if [ -z $1 ]
  then
   echo "No command given"
   exit
  else
   command=$1
fi

# This is the distant node you are remote controlling from
srcnode="1998"

# This is the remote nodes IP address or domain name
# Can be a local (LAN) address or anywhere on the Internet
remote_address="127.0.0.1"

#"This is the remote nodes ssh port
port="222"

#"This is the command to be executed"
full_command="\"rpt fun $srcnode $command\""

# The -f specifies where the password for this login is located
# This file must be protected or use keys instead.

sshpass -f /root/pname ssh -o StrictHostKeyChecking=no root@$remote_address
-p $port "asterisk -rx $full_command"

# END of script

*73 Doug*
