Hello, Since upgrading to app_rpt.c rev 190 our Asterisk system has been receiving a continual stream of: "WARNING[6868] channel.c: Exceptionally long queue length queuing to Zap/pseudo-241657199 [Jun 22 20:37:37]" errors in /var/log/messages. Will upgrading to rev 192 correct the problem? Regards, John

If you want, you could replace the wget with a bash script, and send the information to two destinations using two different wgets in the script. This "splitter" script is something I'm going to code up soon. We wrote some custom php code to receive the wget request and record the information into a database which is then accessed when you visit stats. allstarlink.org. A lot of static information also comes over the net from the main allstarlink database. This would have to be supplied locally in your case. This code is a hack. It is not able to be released because of the potential support burden it would require from us. Another approach would be to write a CGI to scrape the relevant information from stats.allstarlink.org, and only display your nodes on your club website. A better follow-on approach would be to make all of the data available as a web service from stats.allstarlink.org as an XML request, but that is a whole new project in and of itself. Note: You won't get the fancy graphical node diagram doing this you would have to cobble that together from the selected data you retrieved. Regarding the use of sed, awk and friends on log files, please google for this, there's plenty of information out there. You can send DTMF commands from the Asterisk console using the rpt fun command like this: rpt fun 2480 *82 The above command will read back the app_rpt.c version number over the node's transmitter.

Retrieving Node Information
by David Osborn 21 Jun '09

21 Jun '09

Hello All. I am fairly new to AllStar but I now have got two nodes on the air (2480 & 2481), but not without a lot of help from Jim Dixon and Matt Beasant. Thank you both. I was wondering if I could retrieve the same status information that is posted to the stats.allstarlink.org database for my own use on another web site. I am thinking here of our repeater group page, where it would be useful to have up-to-the-minute node status data. Any suggestions as to how I might achieve this? Also, I see from /var/log/asterisk/messages that useful data is collected concerning EchoLink connections (amongst other stuff). I would like to parse out this information, again for posting on the website, but as I am not too well acquainted with the likes of grep, sed, awk and other tools, I'd be glad of some pointers - even a suggestion for a web-based tutorial on log file mangling would be good. Oh, one last thing. Can you guys advise on what console commands are available for checking Asterisk and app_rpt versions, so I can check where I am up to? Thanks. David Osborn GD4HOZ

This is really something only a developer or tester should attempt. Tinkering with the latest code on production systems is not advised. If you have a sandbox system, you can check out the files using SVN then copy them over the top of the existing files in /usr/src using cp, then manually recompile everything, and restart your system. How to access SVN is noted here: http://app-rpt.qrvc.com/node/6 Steve WA6ZFT

I have the latest version of ACID installed on 6+ nodes. I know that the astupd.sh script will at some time update the app_rpt and irlp/echolink channels, but in a step by step how would one get the latest builds (Bleeding edge) installed and built? Mark KC5EVE

Re: [App_rpt-users] Possible source for CM108-based sound dongles
by Eagle Link Customer Service 15 Jun '09

15 Jun '09

Ok, so I ordered one of these USB sound fobs from DealExtreme, opened it up, and it's hard to read the chip but it appears to say CM108 on it. Just to make sure, those of you that have one can compare the results of "lsusb" to what I got. Bus 004 Device 003: ID 0d8c:000c C-Media Electronics, Inc. Audio Adapter The downside of this fob is that the chip is on the bottom side. So making a connection to pin 13 may be easy, but getting it to a wire bundle on the top side may be hard. If you remove the audio jacks, it does leave 2 small holes from each one in the board (not from a solder point) that you may be able to router a small wire through. They're all small wires anyway right? As for the pin 48, I haven't tested the connections, but since pin 48 is Volume Down, according to the datasheet, and there is a volume down button it should be easy to just solder to the button connection instead of the chip. So basically I think this sound fob would work great for modification as long as you intend on removing at least the mic jack. I personally like leaving the speaker jack just for testing/monitoring. Jeff WQEX694 KB1SPH (Yes, I finally took my ham test and passed on the 5th!) P.S. This is probably a dumb question and the wrong place to ask, but does anybody know if you can connect to IRLP over the internet if you don't have a local repeater that's connected? ----- Original Message ----- From: <app_rpt-users-request(a)qrvc.com> To: <app_rpt-users(a)qrvc.com> Sent: Thursday, June 04, 2009 12:00 PM Subject: App_rpt-users Digest, Vol 4, Issue 4 > Send App_rpt-users mailing list submissions to > app_rpt-users(a)qrvc.com > > To subscribe or unsubscribe via the World Wide Web, visit > http://qrvc.com/mailman/listinfo/app_rpt-users > or, via email, send a message with subject or body 'help' to > app_rpt-users-request(a)qrvc.com > > You can reach the person managing the list at > app_rpt-users-owner(a)qrvc.com > > When replying, please edit your Subject line so it is more specific > than "Re: Contents of App_rpt-users digest..." > > > Today's Topics: > > 1.
