[App_rpt-users] Defaul tailmessages?

[Robert A. Poff WB3AWJ]

To play the files on the air from the cli : 
rpt localplay <NODE> <optional path><filename> ; On a duplex node plays the file only on the local node. 
;This will NOT play on a simplex base (duplex=0 or duplex=1) 
rpt playback <NODE> <optional path><filename> ; On a full duplex node (repeater) plays locally and across the network. 
;On a Simplex node only the local transmitter. (I don't care what the docs say, that's how it works) 
example : rpt localplay 27784 foobar will play /var/lib/asterisk/sounds/foobar.ulaw 

This assumes the file is located in /var/lib/asterisk/sounds. If it's elsewhere put the full path in <optional path> 
(e.g.: /etc/W3SBA/announce/ID_CARTS/) 

As to tail messages. I have three that are periodically generated by weather scripts. They're put into /var/lib/asterisk/sounds. 
Filenames are tailmsg01.ulaw, tailmsg02.ulaw, tailmsg03.ulaw 

For stuff that I generate manually using Audacity just to keep myself straight, and add portability of the files to other platforms, I build them as .wav files. 
Then run them through this : 
#!/bin/bash 
s=`echo $1| sed -e's/\.wav//'|xargs -i{} echo {}.ul` 
sox -t wav $1 -r 8000 -c1 -t ul $s resample -ql 

Oh.... and I've not had luck using the ".ul" suffix for tail messages. Make it ".ulaw". 

Just my way of doing things....... 


tail message Config Here : 

rpt.conf: 

tailmessagelist=tailmsg01,tailmsg02,tailmsg03 
tailmessagetime=900000 ; 15 minutes between tail messages 
tailsquashedtime=300000 ; 5 minutes retry if tail message is squashed
