New script
by Doug Crompton 19 Aug '15

19 Aug '15

I have further embellished the attached script to make nodes names in call sign files. I think everything works but input is welcome either on problems or further suggestions. You can now specify overwrite, the output directory, a specific node, etc. The specific node is useful if you just want to add a node or just make a file for an ID. You can specify the output directory - so write_node_callsigns -n <node> -d <path> would write just one gsm file with that nodes callsign to the specified path. I AM soliciting suggestions and comments even if it is a typo!!! Note that this script will write to the /var/lib/asterisk/sounds/rpt/nodenames directory by default unless you specify the -d path option. You also still must make sure the SRCDIR path is set correctly in the script for astdb.txt on your system. The options are now - Usage: write_node_callsigns options Writes voice files of call signs from node numbers OPTIONS: -h Show this message -o Overwrite existing file(s) -n node Specify node number - single write -d path Specify path to output files Default: /var/lib/asterisk/sounds/rpt/nodenames -v Verbose Write callsign for node 40000, no overwrite - ./write_node_callsigns -n 40000 Write callsign for node 40000, overwrite - ./write_node_callsigns -on 40000 Write all callsigns to default directory, no overwrite - ./write_node_callsigns Write all callsigns to default directory, overwrite ./write_node_callsigns -o Write single node to specific directory - ./write_node_callsigns -n 40000 -d /etc/asterisk/local 73 Doug WA3DSP http://www.crompton.com/hamradio

I am a total noob at linux but managed to do the following: 1. downloaded bash-4.1.tar.gz and placed in the root directory2. tar -xzf bash4.1.tar.gz cd bash-4.1 ./configure make sudo make install 3. I then rebooted my box and bash --version It now says version 4.1.0(1)-release (i686-pc-linux-gnu) However I still get the error when running .sh file Processing Node Number: 2000 - Callsign: WB6NIL,/test.sh: line 43: ${f2,,}: bad substitution Any thoughts?

Open Beta "from bare metal to x86 node"
by Steve Zingman 19 Aug '15

I have built a version of Debian's Netinstall that will take you from a blank hard drive to a AllStar node almost hands off. At this time the installer assumes the following: Wipe the hard drive, I'll say this again "THE INSTALLER WILL WIPE THE HARD DRIVE" machine name: repeater Network settings: DHCP login: root password: debian ssh on port: 22 (root login not allowed) login: debian password: debian Download from: <https://drive.google.com/file/d/0ByDmt8HV_FwMRkxoQ0pMcWtScFE/view?usp=shari…> untar the file: tar zxvf netinstall.tar.gz burn the netinstall.iso to a USB flash drive >500 MB or a CD Set the boot order to boot from USB then HD. if possible set to boot from HD then USB. Use something like F12 to boot once from USB. (clear as mud?) Installer will start. Select AllStar install. Once phase one completes, computer will poweroff or re-boot. Remove USB drive. After re-boot, computer will silently complete AllStar Asterisk install from current SVN. Once phase two completes, computer will re-boot (without warning) Node is now ready for you to edit config files. Feel free to ask questions here or direct. We have tested it on anything from a VIA C7 to a Intel P4. 73, Steve N4IRS -- "Anything is possible if you don't know what you are talking about." 1st Law of Logic

I too am getting the same error: line 42: ${f2,,}: bad substitution I cannot seem to update to bash 4. I wonder if anyone could zip the nodenames folder and share the files? I could at least then have current node names. Thanks K1IF

Yes, it would be good to update generally as there have been security problems in bash. At the moment BBB 1.2.1 is 4.3.30, RPi2 1.0 is 4.3.33 and Odroid (latest update ) is 4.3.39 My Acid which I am about to retire is 3.2.25.

modified custom nodenames
by Doug Crompton 19 Aug '15

19 Aug '15

Here is a modified script that I think answers the need for not overwriting existing files in /var/lib/asterisk/sounds/rpt/nodenames Read the comments! Directories need to be defined! Also I am open to any and all suggestions on improving this. I think it might be a useful script to include in the arm-allstar distributions. You can call this anything you want to test.. Be sure to make it executable. # !/bin/bash # # Originally Created by Marshall Dias # Modified by Doug, WA3DSP 8/18/2015 # Script to write Calls to /var/lib/asterisk/sounds/rpt/nodenames # which will then be used in place of node numbers. This script # will NOT overwrite exisitng files. # # If you want to start clean and delete all nodename files do # rm -rf /var/lib/asterisk/sounds/rpt/nodenames/* # or delete just the files you want to replace. # See all comments below # Set the source directory to the Allstar database on your system. # 'locate astdb.txt' This file will exist if you are running any of the # images from hamvoip.org or you have installed allmon or lsnodes on # your system. For the BBB and RPi2 it will generally be /var/log/asterisk SRCDIR=/var/log/asterisk # Set the destination directory. I recommend a test directory as shown at first. # The final destination would be /var/lib/asterisk/sounds/rpt/nodenames #DESTDIR=/var/lib/asterisk/sounds/rpt/nodenames DESTDIR=/tmp/nodes # Definitions of sound file directories NODENAMES=/var/lib/asterisk/sounds/rpt/nodenames LETTERS=/var/lib/asterisk/sounds/letters NUMBERS=/var/lib/asterisk/sounds/digits STRING="" while IFS='|' read f1 f2 f3 f4 do echo "Processing Node Number: $f1 - Callsign: $f2" STRING="" foo=${f2,,} for (( i=0; i<${#foo}; i++ )); do char=${foo:$i:1} case ${foo:$i:1} in [0-9]*) FILENAME=$NUMBERS/$char.gsm ;; "/") FILENAME=$LETTERS/slash.gsm ;; "-") FILENAME=$LETTERS/dash.gsm ;; [a-z]*|[A-Z]*) FILENAME=$LETTERS/$char.gsm ;; esac STRING="$STRING $FILENAME" done if [ -f "$DESTDIR/$f1.gsm" ] then echo "$DESTDIR/$f1.gsm exists - not overwriting" else cat $STRING > "$DESTDIR/$f1.gsm" fi done < $SRCDIR/astdb.txt # End of script 73 Doug WA3DSP http://www.crompton.com/hamradio

Tim, No one gives a poop about about some code that you "claim" you wrote. Had the code been commented with your name, I could have given credit. But since there was nothing, it was impossible for me to know who wrote it. Since your name is NOWHERE in the file, I'm assuming you are claiming ownership of someone else's work. With uncommented, open source code, I don't give a shit about worrying about stroking some arrogant douchbag's ego. I don't care what you think. I don't care how you perceive my contribution. If you can't see the intention of my contribution, then that's YOUR problem. #noonecares Sent from my iPhone > On Aug 18, 2015, at 8:08 AM, Tim Sawyer <tisawyer(a)gmail.com> wrote: > > You take code, rename it and call it yours.
