In case anyone is interested....<div>I have scripted a solution that is currently acceptable to Dave Cameron and Dave Gingrinch of IRLP fame, as an interim solution - this allows me to keep my allstar node functioning with IRLP while I try and devise a solution to keep my 2 IRLP nodes "alive", currently running within Allstar. <div>
<br></div><div>Basically it uses the connect and disconnect scripts (that used to tweet the repeater status) to determine if an IRLP node is connecting. If it is an IRLP node, then the "No Incoming mode" is selected, stopping any crosslinking to Echolink or other Allstar nodes. This doesnt affect the existing Allstar connections in use to link my repeaters together, which is why its difficult for me to use traditional IRLP nodes.</div>
<div><br></div><div>If an additional Allstar node or Echolink node connects, the script deletes the "enable" file from the IRLP/Local directory, thereby disabling the IRLP node and stopping any incoming or outgoing IRLP connections for the duration. Once the other node disconnects the "enable" file is restored, enabling the IRLP node once more.</div>
<div><br></div><div>I've done this externally to the Allstar code as I dont know how to code it within the applcation but I am sure it would be possible to code a solution to keep the IRLP folk happy and with inherent flexibility within Allstar, it could be enabled and disabled as required.</div>
<div><br></div><div>I can't emphasise enough how great it would be if we could have IRLP back as an integral part of Allstar - is it dead forever? I hope not.</div><div><br></div><div>Matt</div><div>G4RKY<br><br><br></div>
