[arm-allstar] Announce when Internet is lost

Mon Nov 13 23:22:35 EST 2023

i'm almost there, if i can get the tailmessages in rpt.conf to play
i set the time to 10 seconds just so i don't fall asleep
and i put a file in /etc/asterisk/local/announcements/test
and i keyup the repeater but nothing after the tail drops and 10 seconds
passes
several attempts

but i can't get it to play so still tinkering but the script is working
as far as transferring and deleting

#!/usr/bin/bash
wget -q --spider http://google.com

# if the test fails and the tmp file does not exist

if [ $? -gt 0 ] && [ ! -f /tmp/internetdown ] ; then
    # play the message
cp /etc/asterisk/local/offline.ul
/etc/asterisk/local/announcements/offline.ul
    # create the flag
    touch /tmp/internetdown
else
    # internet is back online
    # remove the flag
    rm -f /etc/asterisk/local/announcements/offline.ul
fi
