[arm-allstar] Help with Script

[Darrell Black]

Hi Doug, I have two functions that can be called by DTMF to run scripts.
One to put the repeater in normal mode and one to put it in skywarm mode.

The normal mode has many tail messages and plays crontab scheduled
announcements. During a skywarn net I want to shut off all scheduled
announcements, all tail messages  (except a warning) and also change the
reset tone to "SW" for skywarn.

So when I type in the *xx right now the crontab is swapped, the rpt file is
swapped but the reset tone does not change. Do I need to restart asterisk
instead of just reloading the file for the tone to change?
