[arm-allstar] Echolink command to turn off and on

[David McGough]

Okay, the scripting can be done many ways, here is one way:

Put this bash script in the /usr/local/sbin folder. Here are the steps to 
download it:

cd /usr/local/sbin
wget https://hamvoip.org/downloads/echolink-control
chmod 755 echolink-control



Now, add something like these commands to your appropriate rpt.conf 
[functions] stanza.  For example, this is for node 2289. Change the DTMF 
command as needed. In this example, "B70" blocks and "B71" un-blocks:


; rpt.conf
[functions2289]
B70=cmd,/usr/local/sbin/echolink-control off     ; Block echolink
B71=cmd,/usr/local/sbin/echolink-control on      ; Un-Block echolink
