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.
