[arm-allstar] Limiting Node connects - update

[Bryan St Clair]

I changed the script to this, and I am working now.  Thanks

#!/bin/bash
#
Links=$(asterisk -rx "rpt xnode $1" | grep 'NUMALINKS' | cut -d "=" -f2)
if [ -z "$Links" ] ;
then Links=0 ;
fi

echo "SET VARIABLE result $Links"
echo $Links
#
