[arm-allstar] Announce when Internet is lost

[Dave Petrie]

got it, now to stop playing every minute the network is down or maybe
just change the announcement to a simple tone, beep, burp
but i don't want it to keyup every minute, getting there


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

if [ $? -gt 0 ]; then

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