[arm-allstar] broadcastify setup

[Don Sayler]

Hi David.

Yup, I am. It's pretty weird, I had this working a year or two ago, where
the stream would start when the node started. It doesn't now, I have to
manually start it from the command line. It stops 15-20 minutes after I
drop Putty. I suspect that's because Ezstream is running on a disconnected
user.

Am I correct in my assumption that the outstreamcmd setting in rpt.conf is
all that's needed? Or is there something else?

I'm open to any ideas you have.
Thanks.
