[arm-allstar] Received variable - and automation delay

Sat May 9 23:30:04 EDT 2020

 Thanks Doug.  That was the missing puzzle piece.  Ive now got a working solution to delay automation if a conversation is in progress.  In the next few days Ill clean up the code and publish back on this thread so others can use the script.

 David,
   Just do it in a script. Here is an example. 

Script name   delay_test
Call as  - delay_test <filename>

!/bin/bash

File_time=$(stat -c %Y $1)
Now=$(date +%s)

echo $File_time
echo $Now
Res=$(echo $( bc <<< "$Now - $File_time" )) 
echo "Age since create - $Res"

 Hi Doug,
This afternoon I started playing with this.  A solution is starting to take shape.
I would love to take this command and run it after the file is XX seconds old.
 rm -f /tmp/RPT_TXKEYED = s|f|RPT_TXKEYED

Is there a easy way to do this?  I played with some Python os.stat commands, but it seems the Raspberry Pi isnt loaded with a full set of Python commands.
What do you think?
David

  Doug,
This is also a fantastic idea for solving for this.  Ill tinker with both options and see which one I can get to work best.
Thank you,
David

 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

 Doug,
This is right up the alley of what I was looking for.
Ill use your code sample and see if I can get something accomplished here.
Thank you,

 David,

 This really would not have anything directly to do with cron but rather
would be applied to a script the cron called.  The fact that the TX has
been keyed is known by the RPT_TXKEYED variable. This variable can be used
in an event in Asterisk to call a script. This is what might be used to
control a fan and in fact the same principle would be used for a delay time.

Here is an example that would get you started.  You add the events to
rpt.conf and then run this script in the background adding the event to
call after the delay.  You could have multiple of these scripts running.
They could be started manually or in rc.local. Also keep in mind that the
telemetry system in Allstar while better than most controllers is limited
in some ways that might make this system not work the way intended. This is
on our list of things to improve.

# 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

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

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

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

}

while :
do
if [ -e  $TXKEYED ]
  then
    echo "TX"
    Delay
    run_once=0
  else
    echo "NO TX"
    if [ run_once == 0 ]
      then
          # call operations to execute after delay here
          run_once=1
    fi
fi
sleep 1
done
