Doug, Since I am using the Cepstal voice and your modified TTS script and it works fine playing the NWS and Underground forcast fine. However the alerts still don't work! I made sure that the alerts was turned on and the cron jobs was proper. How do I trouble shoot this? What files get created and where do they get put? Is there any way to force and alert test condition to see what is going on? Or is there something new that the NWS is doing that is causing the alert not to go off Thanks 73 Neil Sablatzky K8IT Allstar Node 41838 KITLINK Allstar Node 42087 KITLINK HUB IRLP Node exp0068 Echolink K8IT-L WIRES-X K8IT 11479 Room 21479

Motd for ssh ( Just a basic idea on whats going on server side..)
by Loren Tedford 06 May '16

06 May '16

I found this helpful with some of my allstar nodes.. Being able to see how much space is left on the hard drive etc.. along with what the outside temperatures roughly are.. Figured some of you might enjoy this.. Here is the forum post thread where i posted my original help section.. http://forum.kc9zhv.com/index.php/topic,293.0.html Greetings I have decided to run a new MOTD type setup on my servers so I can see whats going on with the server and a really quick basic weather update.. Here is the original article where i had found the info. https://help.ubuntu.com/lts/serverguide/pam_motd.html Ok so here we go.. Code: [Select] sudo apt-get install landscape-common weather-util Now that we have installed the packages here is how to setup your local weather to appear on the MOTD. Code: [Select] sudo nano /usr/local/bin/local-weather So now to setup your weather information server side.. You can find the information here.. http://www.nws.noaa.gov/tg/siteloc.php Code: [Select] #!/bin/sh # # # Prints the local weather information for the MOTD. # # # Replace KINT with your local weather station. # Local stations can be found here: http://www.weather.gov/tg/siteloc.shtml <-- This is old and out of date> echo weather -i KOLY echo Now you need to adjust permissions. Code: [Select] sudo chmod 755 /usr/local/bin/local-weather Now link the files to the correct places.. Code: [Select] sudo ln -s /usr/local/bin/local-weather /etc/update-motd.d/98-local-weather If you wish to run a customized script to run the info with out exiting and re-login into the server you can do this.. Now to create this I generally like to make sure i am back to where i usually start out when joining into the server. Code: [Select] cd ~Now we are naming this file sinfo.sh <- you can name this what ever you like.. Code: [Select] nano sinfo.sh Code: [Select] #!/bin/sh run-parts --lsbsysinit /etc/update-motd.d 2>/dev/null Now to run the command you will typ sh sinfo.sh Here is an example of what it could show.. Code: [Select] Welcome to Ubuntu 14.04.4 LTS (GNU/Linux 3.13.0-85-generic x86_64) * Documentation: https://help.ubuntu.com/ Ubuntu 14.04.4 LTS server : ip : 192.99.13.90 hostname : server.lorentedford.com System information as of Fri May 6 18:13:25 CDT 2016 System load: 0.57 Processes: 247 Usage of /home: 12.2% of 1.71TB Users logged in: 1 Memory usage: 33% IP address for eth0: 192.99.13.90 Swap usage: 0% Graph this data and manage this system at: https://landscape.canonical.com/ Searching via station...

Re: [App_rpt-users] SSD failures?
by Pawlowski, Adam 06 May '16

06 May '16

If by SSD you mean compact flash, then, yes, I have had issues with those. They are convenient for being basically IDE, but, they have a limited write cycle and can get trashed up. I've had them also suddenly have all sort of I/O issues, but re-seating them returns them to normal. Regarding modern SSDs, I haven't had a failure, but there are some instances where you can grind their lifespan away with either bad firmware, or potentially a poor choice of application for them. It would be a feat to accomplish that with asterisk and app_rpt I would thing. Regards, Adam Pawlowski KC2YQF

Re: [App_rpt-users] ezstream 100% cpu
by Loren Tedford 05 May '16

The biggest issue with ezstream is that for some reason you get multiple instances of the program running.. Not sure exactly what would be the best solution to actually fix this but the cron script is a big bandage with duck tape.. I really wish I knew how to write code..

USB sound FOB lack of high frequency noise
by Skyler F 05 May '16

05 May '16

I just put together a modified sound fob by taking a 10µF capacitor to the divider of 47k and 68k resistors and then to the microphone input of the sound fob, but I am getting the lack of high frequency noise error when I plug my fob into the radio. A DMK URI works fine. Has anybody else had problems with these sound fobs? 73 kd0whb

Is there a way to host your own stats?
by Loren Tedford 05 May '16

05 May '16

Greetings does anyone know the lines of codes that it takes to host your own stats?? The reason for the interest is to first of all become independent of the stats.allstarlink.org and the second half of the reason for my interest is to maintain 100% up time for my statistics on my servers..

Does anybody know what the "600" means on the schematic of the USB radio interface where it shows the inductors for the GPIO and audio lines? Does this mean 600uH, 600nH, 600 ohms @ 100Mhz or what? http://www.dmkeng.com/images/URIx%20Schematic.pdf 73, Skyler KDØWHB

Quick Time Windows

If you're still using it, be aware that Apple has deprecated it and no longer supports (or will fix vulnerabilities) QT on the Window$ platform. https://securityintelligence.com/its-time-to-let-go-of-quicktime-for-windows Download Audacity (free, so should appeal to hams...Google is your friend to find it) and install the Lame encoder (instructions on where to find it are in the Audacity dox...) to handle your mp3 needs. No cost, except for disk space, and you just might find other uses for it. -- Bryan Sent from my iPhone 6S...No electrons were harmed in the sending of this message.
