[App_rpt-users] GPIO Timeouts

[mike at midnighteng.com]

Barry,

I wrote a little script to do what you want.

To use it, make a command for calling the script.
XXX=cmd,/etc/asterisk/myscripts/macro-timer.sh

when you execute your macro calling the change in gpio, add a call to the
above command to the end of that macro.

edit the script to your set time and inside the script to the call to the
macro you want to call to turn it off after the timer has elapsed.

Timer is in seconds.

here is the script...

#!/bin/bash
# mike/kb8jnm - macro-timer.sh
# create delay / run command
# make a command for this script, call it from a macro string


# set wait time in seconds 600 = 5min - 1800 = 15min
sleep 1200


# execute command (calling a macro to shut off the called function)
# format is - rpt fun NODE# CMD#
asterisk -rx "rpt fun 29283 *5xxxx"


# will clean exit after waiting and executing


...Let me know how it works for you.
