Here is an example of connecting to the alaska net. This example is in /etc/asterisk/local in the distribution.<br><br>cat alaska_connect<br><br>#! /bin/bash<br># Example Script showing connect to Alaska Morning Net<br># Change the 'connect from node' to your node<br># and the 'connect to' node to where you want to connect<br># omit the < and ><br># Run from a cron job that specifies the connect time<br>#<br># This cron example shows how to enter into cron<br># type crontab -e and add the line, change as needed<br>#<br># The example shows at 12:44 (times are 24 hour) on<br># Monday through Saturday run the alaska_connect<br># script in the /etc/asterisk/local directory<br>#<br># Modify this script to your needs<br>#<br># This cron example shows a 12:44 PM connect time Monday through Saturday.<br>#<br># 44 12 * * 1-6 /etc/asterisk/wa3dsp/alaska_connect<br>#<br>/usr/sbin/asterisk -rx "rpt fun 27225 *7327133"<br># end of script<br><br>When you create a script like this to do asterisk tasks it must be made executable. </font><font style="" color="#000000" face="Tahoma,sans-serif"><font style="" color="#000000" face="Tahoma,sans-serif">If the script was called alaska_connect.sh</font> then - chmod 750 alaska_connect.sh<br><br>Then you can actually call it from Linux to see if it works properly.<br><br>./alaska_connect.sh - from the same directory it is in. <br><br>Then you have two options. You can create a cron job to execute it on a schedule or execute it with a DTMF command. Here is my cron entry to execute this script at at 12:50 on Wedneadays<br><br># Weekly at Wed 12:50 PM Alaska Net<br>50 12 * * 3 /etc/asterisk/local/alaska_connect.sh<br><br>You would make a corresponding disconnect script (alaska_disconnect.sh) like above then add the disconnect cron entry.

The DTMF code can be anything that does not conflict with what is already defined. 8XX is usually safe and all the extended prefix A, B , C , D are not used but make sure the handheld or radio you are controlling with has those tones available. Not all do.<br><br>The scripts can do anything legal in Linux and you can call Asterisk multiple times to do anything you could normally do in the client.<br><br>I hope that helps. <br><br></font><b><font style="font-size:16pt;" size="4">73 Doug</font><font style="font-size:16pt;" size="4"><br></font><font style="font-size:16pt;" size="4">WA3DSP</font><font style="font-size:16pt;" size="4"><br></font><font style="font-size:16pt;" size="4">http://www.crompton.com/hamradio</font></b><font style="font-size:16pt;" size="4"><br></font><br><br><div><hr id="stopSpelling">Date: Tue, 20 Oct 2015 13:17:13 -0400<br>From: mrpjf150@gmail.com<br>To: arm-allstar@hamvoip.org<br>Subject: [arm-allstar] Commanding nodes via scripting<br><br><p dir="ltr"> Hi all</p>
<p dir="ltr"> How do you command a node to connect/disconnect using scripting? Sometimes I'm outta range of my node to command DTMF.An example would be say,there is a net on at such& such a time,would like to script something to command my node to link up.Is there something in Doug's software to do this?<br></p>
