[arm-allstar] Limiting Node connects - update

[Doug Crompton]

It works fine the way it was written here -

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

The object is to return the number of direct connects. You need to provide
a node if running it manually.
