[arm-allstar] Set RC-210 clock from Allstar nodes

[Mike Sullivan]

Larry, that's a pretty interesting script, I'll have to check it out. Mine
is a lot more basic. I have three separate scripts, unlock, program, and
lock, all set up with the appropriate commands ( /usr/bin/asterisk -rx "rpt
cmd *nodenumber* cop 48 *D,T,M,F*" ), then have a cron job set at 0359,
which sleeps for 40 seconds, runs the unlock script, sleeps for 5 seconds,
run the program script (setting the time for 0400) sleeps for 5 seconds,
then runs the lock script. This was the best way I could find it to do what
I wanted it to do, and keeps the time on the controller within 2-3 seconds
of the time set. (Ours is currently set to run every night but I might
change it to run once a week instead)

59 03 * * * (sleep 40 && /etc/asterisk/local/time_unlock.sh && sleep 10 &&
/etc/asterisk/local/time_program.sh && sleep 10 &&
/etc/asterisk/local/time_lock.sh)
