[App_rpt-users] write_nodename script

[Doug Crompton]

Attached is the write_nodename script with a few last minute refinements. It will now include both call and node number with the -i argument. This is handy when you have more than one node with the same callsign.  With the -i option it will say:

w3xyz node 40000 connected to ......

You would probably only want to do this for selected nodes but you could do the entire node list that way if desired. Using the -o (overwrite) option would replace an existing entry. To revert to the default just node message simply deleted the <node>.gsm file or files manually from /var/lib/asterisk/sounds/rpt/nodenames

It now also requires a  -a option to process all of the nodes. Executing without any options will just give the usage screen. This prevents things from happening unexpectedly when just running the script without any options. 

Replace any prior scripts with this one and put it in your search path. /usrlocal/sbin is a good place. Comments always welcome.

If you are using this with a BBB or RPI2 or anything with an SD card it would not be a good idea to run this as a daily job with the -o (overwrite) option as it would mean many unnecessary writes. Using it without the -o option should be OK but better yet just update manually when necessary.
