Bob,

 The easiest way to execute scripts that command app_rpt is outside of rpt.conf in this way....

Create a script and store it somewhere (example) -

#! /bin/bash
/usr/sbin/asterisk -rx "rpt fun 27225 *7128190"
sleep 10
/usr/sbin/asterisk -rx "rpt fun 27225 *7327133"

I call this script alaska_connect and it is in /etc/asterisk/wa3dsp  Make sure it s executable - chmod 750 <filename>

Then create a cron job to tell when to execute it -

44 12 * * 1-6 /etc/asterisk/wa3dsp/alaska_connect

This says execute /etc/asterisk/wa3dsp/alaska_connect at 12:44 (PM the clock is 24 hour) on Monday through Saturday

Use crontab -e   to edit  cron   or crontab -l to list what is there. Google cron or crontab to see cron options.

As you can see this has nothing to do with anything inside of rpt.conf  Remove any scheduled jobs in rpt.conf especially if they conflict with doing it in this way externally.

The script can be any system command or anything you could do from the command prompt, download a file, reboot the system, send commands to app_rpt, restart asterisk, whatever.

Subject: [App_rpt-users] app_rpt script execution

I’m working on a node that downloads a file from the internet weekly, but the time seems to vary. I want to change this to a specific day and time each week, but cannot determine what is activating the script. The script is located in /etc/asterisk/. rpt.conf uses the file per its [schedule] stanza. I have two questions:

 

Does the server only load/execute files in /etc/asterisk each time asterisk is started?

How can I setup the system so it executes this script at a given time each week?

 

Thanks,

Bob

Yes Angelo,

you can use them but,

just keep in mind the full implications of using them for control op commands because you probably do not have ABCD on your phone control system.

Hi all,

 

I realized this has never been asked or I just can't find the answer.

Can the A B C D on the DTMF pad be used for control codes??
