Crontab with DIAL on RPi 2
by kk6ecm 26 Jan '16

26 Jan '16

We are running our repeater using DIAL on a RPi 2, and asterisk seems to just stop running at times, but Linux is happy. A reboot corrects it for awhile. I've also restarted asterisk. On our ACID system with the Atom computer, we seemed to have the same thing happen, so I used crontab to perform a restart weekly, which seemed to correct the issue until we actually had an identifiable hardware issue, then we installed the Pi. I've attempted to set up a crontab to do either an asterisk stop/start sequence, or a reboot, but neither seem to work, so I'm wondering why? We've also tried to reboot in crontab using the same reboot sequence as we use for rebooting via the radio, using DTMF in rpt.conf; "/sbin/reboot" ; this works from the radio. Also, cop,1 does not seem to restart asterisk in rpt.conf. I'm wondering if these are known issues, or am I doing something incorrectly? Thanks, Bob kk6ecm Sent from iPad

Question
by Greg Mohr 26 Jan '16

26 Jan '16

I have a couple of people coming in and linking up while I am testing. Is there a way to forcibly disconnect the link without having to reboot the system. The link commands for COP or disconnecting all do not seem to work. Any help in troubleshooting would be greatly appreciated. 73, Greg W2GCM -----Original Message----- From: app_rpt-users-bounces(a)ohnosec.org [mailto:app_rpt-users-bounces@ohnosec.org] On Behalf Of app_rpt-users-request(a)ohnosec.org Sent: Saturday, January 23, 2016 3:46 PM To: app_rpt-users(a)ohnosec.org Subject: App_rpt-users Digest, Vol 83, Issue 37 Send App_rpt-users mailing list submissions to app_rpt-users(a)ohnosec.org To subscribe or unsubscribe via the World Wide Web, visit http://ohnosec.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/app_rpt-users or, via email, send a message with subject or body 'help' to app_rpt-users-request(a)ohnosec.org You can reach the person managing the list at app_rpt-users-owner(a)ohnosec.org When replying, please edit your Subject line so it is more specific than "Re: Contents of App_rpt-users digest..."

Node 43008 issues
by JAMES LINDLEY 25 Jan '16

25 Jan '16

Hello, I just installed the Allstar system on a Raspberry 2 connected to a Baofeng radio via a Advanced Repeater Systems USB AllStar Adapter. I can see the node on AllStar Link WebTranceiver, but when I send DTMF tones to the radio it will not connect or return the time with *81.if I dial the node on a cell phone 763-230-0000 and enter my passwordcode I get a busy signal. I' on AT&T and I think I have the right port open, on the router. Has anyone seen issues like those? Thanks Jim AG4UJ Sent from my iPad

Noob question
by Greg Mohr 24 Jan '16

I just connected my repeater a Motorola GM500R With a Maxtrac M10 receiver and M120 TX. The jumper on the board is set to B on the RX. When I try to connect to a node I get a node # Connection Failed. Not sure as to what to do , I am not a current Linux fan nor as good with the command line interface as I used to be 20yrs ago working on Linux servers for EDS and AT&T. I made a change on the web portal and then selected download, I saw the following come up on my local node system: Connected to Asterisk 1526 currently running on AllStar (pid = 684) [Jan 23 19:18:34] NOTICE[697]: cryptostub.c:42 stub_ast_key_get: Crypto support not loaded!

Thank you, Greg W2GCM

IP network setup DIAL
by Tower DIVA 23 Jan '16

23 Jan '16

OK I had a brain fart. What is the most logical way to change static IP on allstar DIAL. Is there a script that can be called to do the network setup and change settings? Getting over a cold and am rather brainless. The Server/node will be going to a different location to be used but setting up here so it will be plug and play for the other location. Keri KB0YNA

Executing a script - does not work
by Stephen - K1LNX 22 Jan '16

22 Jan '16

I am trying to get a script to execute based on a DTMF sequence and it's not working for whatever reason. I put the following in rpt.conf under the functions stanza: [functions2376] (default functions removed for readability) ; testing script functions 123=cmd,/root/scripts/test.sh The script is nothing more than a simple shell script for testing right now, I validated it worked: #!/bin/bash echo test1234 > test.out Permissions are set 777 on it to ensure it's able to be executed by anything, but when I go to the Asterisk console and execute: rpt fun 2376 *123 The script does not execute. What is it I could be missing here if anything? tnx Stephen K1LNX

Announcments help please
by Joseph Skoler 21 Jan '16

21 Jan '16

Hello, I recently set up app_rpt to connect my UHF repeater to Allstar and Echolink. I'm just now discovering the incredible power of Asterisk/app_rpt. Could someone please help/guide me with the following thing I'd like to be able to do: 1) Transmit voice announcements every x minutes 2) Be able to change those announcement easily -- txt/email msg converted to speech would be perfect 3) Create new messages (i.e., with their own timer schedule in additional to existing messages) to be transmitted regularly, both manually (i.e., on my instruction) and automatically (time, weather, other telemetry, etc.) Thank you! Joseph, kc2yu
