[App_rpt-users] Permanent Connections

[Bryan D. Boyle]

2 function scripts....and a third which is a copy that is created by either of the two as the last step.

ie: (and the number is up to you, but I'll use 85...)

85=cmd,/etc/asterisk/scripts/do.sh

(i have a directory under asterisk that i dump all my scripts into.  keeps the asterisk directory clean and tidy)

do.sh is a copy of either 

up.sh

or 

down.sh

depending on what the LAST command was; think of it as preloading the toggle.

the last line of up.sh or down.sh is a line
rm -f /etc/asterisk/scripts/do.sh;cp /etc/asterisk/scripts/(the opposite file).sh /etc/asterisk/scripts/do.sh

now, you can use *85# as a resolution to a macro, a direct DTMF commend, or a scheduled task or what have you.  

That's how I'd do it.  The OS is powerful...use it to do what it does best.

My node has macros set up to allow easy connection to other area nodes ie: (Macro 13 = *33353296#) To make things easier for the users, I would like to use the "disconnect all" to disconnect any nodes they may connect to, while still leaving the permanent connection in place. It does not work that way unfortunately, as it drops ALL connections (as the name implies). So here are my questions:
