Please send me the scripts. That will save some time, Thanks. For some reason I was under the impression that usbradio.conf settings could only be changed by restarting Asterisk so I had ignored that approach. Steve On 6/15/2011 11:22, Bryan D. Boyle wrote:

Too bad you can't just switch the input PL required during those times.
I'll give it a try...thinking this would be a quick and dirty way of accomplishing it...???
Thoughts?
Gave it a try (why not...little downtime here at the office...
Created a script called nodenumberlid.sh (where nodenumber is the numeric representation of the node in question), put it in my scripts directory (which I have in /etc/asterisk to aggregate my various 'stuff') that copies a usbradiolid.conf over the running usbradio.conf, sleeps for 3 seconds (lets things calm down...), then issues an rasterisk -rx "reload" command. Does very nicely in changing the ctcss for the receive to something other than the published. (also wrote the reverse script to copy the original usbradionorm.conf back...don't want to screw up things...;) Yeah, more files to keep track of, but, I'm thinking at this level, things don't change too much.
Put it in a long XXXXXXXX=cmd,/etc/asterisk/scripts/nodenumber[lid|norm] function command in rpt.conf, reloaded, and over the iax connection, it makes the changes, reloads in both directions...seems to work just fine. Well, at least the execution and file changes ok...will check when I get home to see if it actually changes over the RF side of the equation...how's that?
Why don't I have the lid script backup the running script? Well..if you issue the lid script twice in a row...you'll end up with the changed ctcss-containing file being copied back by the norm script (which would be written to do so...); better to have a fixed config file that doesn't get touched except to edit. Now...if you want to edit the running or standard config, just edit the usbradionorm.conf file, then issue a nodenumbernorm function command...:)
I can see this being used, rather than sed inline..which gives me a shudder, but I know that's how some like to do it...and not making a judgment, just stating my preference. But, it is eminently doable (and the index card with the list of function commands I can execute from the DTMF pad is getting longer...sigh...)
Scripts available, if anyone wants to see how I did it...simple 4 lines...
