[arm-allstar] Shutting down a node safely in a vehicle, need some input

[Dave Petrie]

The B1 dtmf command can be changed to you choice, I am assuming your friend
has
a radio connected to the node so dtmf command can be sent to the node
receiver.
the B1 dtmf command calls a script, usr/local/sbin/halt.sh

and the nice thing about that is the voice announcement you will hear that
your command
has been accepted and no guesswork. It makes the announcement and then
shuts down
the software then powers down. Here is the file just for reference and it's
so easy to enable
by editing the rpt.conf

#!/bin/bash

# Notify via voice and Halt the system

if ! [ -z "$1" ]
  then

    /usr/bin/asterisk -rx "rpt localplay $1 /usr/local/sbin/halt"

    sleep 10

  fi

/usr/local/sbin/astdn.sh
/bin/sleep 1
/usr/bin/poweroff
