[App_rpt-users] app_rpt script execution

[kk6ecm]

Understand, thanks.

This is basically what I have... cron schedule in rpt.conf to send the file to the radio, and a shell script to download the file from the Internet using wget... Was not seeing how rpt.conf was playing the script... Think I may have found my problem with how the DTMF command was configured to play it... Hence my confusion.

Thanks much,
Bob
