shutdown the Pi. Already in the code is the ability to shutdown with a GPIO push
button. You just have to add the button and activate it in the allstar.env file.
A howto is on the web page.<BR><BR>There are also functions in rpt.conf that are
commented out that allow dtmf asterisk restart, linux reboot, and system halt.
You could uncomment them and possibly change the dtmf codes.<BR><BR>As far a
power down problems without shutting down properly I have never seen a problem
with the RPi2 image but of course it is always a good idea to shutdown properly.
It does not take much to run the RPI2 for hours of power failure. A 400 watt UPS
would run it all day.<BR><BR>The image is ext4 and does the same things it would

it is anything you have to really worry about as long as you take a few
precautions and of course always have an image backup on hand. They are easy to
make with the backup scripts.<BR></FONT><BR><B><FONT style="FONT-SIZE: 16pt"

Subject: [arm-allstar] fsck on PI image<BR>> <BR>> <BR>> Hi,<BR>>
<BR>> I recently put together a remote base using Baofeng UV5R and Doug's
PI<BR>> image. One of the problems that I have had with using Pis in a
shared<BR>> environment is folk switching them off without shutting them down
properly.<BR>> I normally rig up a push switch that makes the PI do a clean
shutdown for<BR>> you when you don't have a terminal handy to do it via
SSH.<BR>> (http://www.feednet.org.uk/powerdownpi.htm )<BR>> <BR>> I
also usually enable non-interactive use of fsck on reboot to cope with<BR>>
those cases where a clean shutdown hasn't been made. This is to avoid
those<BR>> circumtances where the machine won't allow you to go further
without logging<BR>> in as root, but you can't login as root because SSH
hasn't started yet. <BR>> <BR>> I'm not familiar with Arch Linux - can
someone advise how to ensure that if<BR>> the OS runs fsck on a reboot, that
it completes without any intervention ?<BR>> Or perhaps this is already done
with Doug's image ?<BR>> <BR>> Thanks !<BR>> <BR>> Bernie<BR>>
