[arm-allstar] Received variable - and automation delay

[Doug Crompton]

David,

 Another example on possibly how to do this is below.  Run delay_msg.sh
with delay and node parameter, in the background then create a voice
message that plays in .ul format.  Then copy that file to /tmp/message.ul
-  It should play right away if there is no TX or no TX for the delay
period. If there is TX it will play up to the delay period after.  Also
might be better at first to not run delay _msg.sh in the background but
rather open two sessions - one will show what is oging on and the other to
copy the file to /tmp   Make sure you copy the file as it does delete it
after it plays it.  node must match node the event is active in.

# delay_msg.sh <delay> <node>
#
# Add the following two lines to rpt.conf
# in the [events] section uncomment them
# remove the #  Do NOT uncomment
# here in this script.

# touch /tmp/RPT_TXXKEYED = s|t|RPT_TXKEYED
# rm -f /tmp/RPT_TXKEYED = s|f|RPT_TXKEYED

# message location
msg="/tmp/message.ul"

# TX Key file check
TXKEYED="/tmp/TXKEYED"

# delay at unkey
# This is in seconds or with 'm' for minutes
delay="$1"

function Delay {
while [ -e $TXKEYED ]
do
   sleep 1
done
echo "Delaying $1"
sleep $delay

}

while :
do
if [ -e $TXKEYED ]
  then
    echo "TX"
    Delay
  else
    echo "NO TX"
    if [ -e $msg ]
      then
        echo "Playing $msg to $2 with $1 delay"
        asterisk -rx "rpt localplay $2 ${msg%.*}"
        sleep 10  # Must be longer than message length
        rm -f $msg
    fi
fi
sleep 1
done
