Ah, thank you both for the replies.

I have this working now Stephen, thanks for that.

Now I have another related ( loosely ) question. 

I wanted to use this function to play a voice ID at the top of the hour on a repeater. 

I have just ( yesterday ) added an additonal node to my system at Dundry and now have two nodes running on 1 machine. 

The instructions to achieve this were great and its easy to do, but there was one part I wasnt 100% sure about.

In RPT.CONF, where do I put my configuration for the second node?

Do I put it right at the very end of the existing config, after the scheduler section or do I put it after the node definition, after the statpost commands?

I'll give it a try at the very end and see what happens....

Thanks,

Matt

This is how it's used:

; Playback messages
931000=playback,rpt/sitenorm            ; site normal message
931001=playback,rpt/alllinksdisconnected; all links disconnected
931002=playback,rpt/alllinksrestored    ; all links restored

Please not that playback is semi-broken in that it only plays back locally.
