[arm-allstar] time a macro to run

[Danny K5CG]

As I mentioned to you privately Dave, setup a cron job for 8:15pm daily to check for the existence of a file somewhere (in /tmp?).

You can use DTMF commands to create and delete the file.

When the cron job runs at 8:15pm, and the file is present, play the announcement and delete the file.
