Thanks. I was thinking about creating multipule rpt.conf files, and having them rotate or have a script which edited the rpt.conf file. Your idea with the audio files is so much better. On Tue, Oct 13, 2015 at 8:45 PM, Skyler F <electricity440@gmail.com> wrote:

If I were doing such a thing (and I do), I would take this approach...

Keep a tail msg enabled (you can have more than one in rotation), And leave it non-existent by name and it will just be 'ignored' when not found without error.(i use tmsg1.off)

When the activity you are monitoring sends the correct flag, use your script to simply rename the audio msg (tail msg) to the recognized file name you set in rpt.conf (rename file to what is set) tmsg1.wav and back again when the condition is no longer true by renaming it tmsg1.off.

Don't forget to set tail msg timer shorter (10min). Don't do this to with to many tail msgs as each one would take a time slot equal to the timer even while off. So if you set 3 msgs to rotate and you only flag one on, it 'could' take up to 3x the tail msg timer to hear it.

It works for me anyhow.

Is there a way to play a different courtesy tone based on a different state of the machine, for example if the repeater is running on battery or AC line or in my case if a file exists or not.
