[App_rpt-users] Echolink / IRLP all node disconnect

[Eric Tichansky]

app_rpt is quite flexible like that.

Using a completely silent autopatch call, coupled w/ dialplan + a couple 
bash scripts allows us to change almost every node stanza parameter, cw 
attributes, and build new courtesy tones in rpt.conf as well as 
zaptel.conf parameters using just DTMF over the air, with changes 
activated in realtime.  We've even implemented a 100 slot "DVR" using 
silent autopatch for playback, record, delete.  The messages can then be 
used as tail messages, which, again, are added/removed from a silent 
autopatch -> script tail messages  parameter "editor" using over-the-air 
DTMF commands.  There is also a "command mode lock and unlock" function 
to avoid unauthorized use of the above.  Just a simple Asterisk DB entry 
that is toggled by a command + security code, and checked prior to every 
command call.

We may eventually consider mashing together a distributable AGI script 
to eliminate the dialplan ugliness.

There's quite a lot of flexibility and functionality that can be 
squeezed out of app_rpt if you don't mind getting dirty.
