[arm-allstar] Announce when Internet is lost

[Dave Petrie]

ok i am working on it, almost there, it's not announcing yet when i unplug
the internet to the raspberry with the repeater up and running
here is what i have done, tell me what you think and what do i change to
announce it is back when i can ping google,
do i change the -gt 0 to a -gt 1 in another line



i named your script internet.sh and put it in /etc/asterisk/local
and chmod +x internet.sh

#!/usr/bin/bash

wget -q --spider http://google.com

if [ $? -gt 0 ]; then

echo sudo /usr/bin/asterisk -vvvr -x "rpt playback 40039
/etc/asterisk/local/offline"

fi

then in crontab -e

it plays from the command line just not automatically from disconnecting
the internet and waiting 3 or 4 minutes



*/1 * * * * /etc/asterisk/local/internet.sh
