[arm-allstar] Global timed messages

[Dave Petrie]

Hi Matt, I am connected to your node if you would like to chat about it.
I just verified mine works. login into your node, putty, menu 9,
then cd \  and hit enter twice and the cd /  and hit enter twice and then
type this

,/etc/asterisk/local/playnews/playnews-0.11 ARN NOW 51237

and hit enter it will download and play now without the 10min and 5 min
announcements, if you want them to play then change NOW to 20 mins ahead of
your typing so that it can download and announce

Dave-wa2kjc node 40039 if you want to chat
