[arm-allstar] on connect script help

[Russell Thomas]

Nevermind this appears to work!
lol i must have messed something up the first time i tried to use it
because the script didn't do anything at first.

ASTDB="/var/log/asterisk/astdb.txt"
CALL=$(awk '-F|' '$1 ~ /^'$2'$/ {print "callsign: "$2}' < $ASTDB)

I just substituted your node variable for $2 which is coming from
conngpm when it calls my bash script originally.
