Brian.. Google for "Linux file structure" the first document I got
was <br>
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://www.tldp.org/LDP/intro-linux/html/sect_03_01.html">http://www.tldp.org/LDP/intro-linux/html/sect_03_01.html</a><br>
it looks like a good description of what you need to know to
navigate through the maze, and have a good understanding of the file
structure. Most Linux distributions keep their files in the same
place. As you read about systemd later on you will understand why
some things are not in the places us old timers expect them to be.
Linux suffers badly from the NIH philosophy <not invented
here> between some distro's one of the reasons some things get
moved around.. but understanding the basics will allow you to
navigate the forest. <br>
<br>
You will find most setup files under the /etc directory<br>
each user files will be under /home/<user><br>
files to boot the system will be under /boot<br>
binary files what windows users call exe files are generally in /bin
but can be under your own directory if you put them there.<br>
In Linux any file can be an executable file, it is set by the file
descriptor bits, an important part, explained in the document I
pointed out. <br>
<br>
as you read through the "htop" command will become your friend<br>
<br>
This should get you started.. I recommend you stay away from any
update commands for a while, until you understand how the
arm-asterisk distribution is put together... and lots about Arch.
I'm sure Doug will echo that one.. <br>
<br>
If you need specifics or get hung up.. don't hesitate to ask
questions.. Google definitely is your friend when it comes to
specifics, but at times the documentation is cryptic... above all
enjoy it, things were done in a certain way for a reason.. if you
don't understand how something works from the documentation jump in
I guarantee someone on the list has the answer, or can point you to
the correct place to find it. <br>
<br>

Parrot Mode
Question
Message-ID:

I see that there is the ability to put AllStar
into parrot mode either
permanently or able to turn it on and off by
command.
Exactly how to do this isn't quite clear to me ...
There is a
config option to be set somewhere. What is that option? I'd like
to be able to
turn parrot mode on and off by DTMF codes.
The process of defining DTMF codes
seems to be two-step process, one place
to establish the command and another
place to define the DTMF codes. Is
that correct? How would the process to turn
on (say *985) and the process
to turn off (say *986) be configured?
The
reason for the question is that I've set up a new simplex node in Laie,
Hawaii
and want to map out the reach of the node. It seems to me the
easiest way to do
that is to have the Pi parrot back to me so I can hear
what the system heard as
I go around the area.
Any help is greatly appreciated. With your information,
I would be happy to
write up an How-to article based on my experience as a new
administrator of
a node.
Aloha!

This is what I have in my rpt.conf file for my
parrot mode...
810=cop,21 ;parrot mode on
811=cop,22 ;parrot mode
off
That means *810 turns it on and when you are finished *811 turns it
off.
That simple.

You also need to put in rpt.conf in the node section the
following parameter:
parrotmode=1 ; 0=off 1= By Cop Command and 2=Full
time parrot simplex/rpt
