Connpgm / disconpgm use

App_rpt-users
1

Hi all!

I’ve been following some discussions on the IRLP list about node owners setting up their nodes to send node status updates to Twitter.

I was wondering if I could do something similar with my app_rpt node? Has anyone already done this?

I’m guessing I’ll need to use the connpgm and disconpgm entries in rpt.conf.

How do I deal with the arguments that get passed out with those commands? What are they called?

The IRLP script uses curl to send info to twitter, would this work with App_rpt too?

Sorry for the dumb noob questions!

Thanks,

Matt

OK well that was a deafening silence! I guess I am in uncharted territory here…

I have managed to get a “tweet” for connect and disconnect states of my node using curl so, so far so good.

What I dont know and cant seem to work out from the source code, is the names of the variables that are passed as arguments. I tried using $name and $them as I thought that might work but no luck.

If anyone can help identify the variables that are available for use by an external script, that would be fantastic, so thanks in advance.

app_rpt is clearly nothing like IRLP when it comes to variables and stuff…

73,

Matt

The following Mantis issues are now resolved:

22 – LiTZ mode
40 – Cannot go into carrier squelch mode without commenting out the rxctcssfreqs and txctcssfreqs options.
41 – Archivedir recording feature only records node TX audio and not Rx audio
49 – Function class to execute a command or shell script via DTMF

This requires upgrade to current apps/app_rpt.c (version 0.211),
channels/chan_usbradio.c and main/dsp.c.

Sorry that I have been out of it for a while, but I have been having some
significant health problems and have been doing the best I possibly can.

P.S.

Does anyone have a test system running IRLP that is loaded with the latest ACID
distribution so that I can look at and resolve one of the bugs easily?? Thanks.

Sure Jim, you’re welcome to use my node - I have Echolink and IRLP running on 2250.

Only too happy to help.

( Is this the jumping audio level on IRLP issue? Cos I still get that one )

Email me off list and I’ll give you the SSH details.

Hi Jim, thanks for the reply.

Sorry about the duff info, I was merely basing my assumption on the info in the example rpt.conf which states that there are 2 arguments passed to the connpgm / disconpgm :

connpgm=/etc/connectprog ; . Execute a program you specify on connect.

				; passes 2 command line arguments to your program:

I was wondering how to use these arguments so I can include them in my tweet…

I implemented a couple more today:

42 –
Add the ability to use a COP command to enable and disable receive CTCSS
48 – TX CTCSS only on valid input
54 –
nighly rsync updates aren’t running

This requires upgrade to current apps/app_rpt.c (version 0.213),

I had an issue compiling zaptel with kernel 2.6.30 (gentoo). ztdummy wouldn’t compile.

Known issue and there is a patch available. I attached the patch which should probably

be merged into the tree. I was going to put it in mantis but didn’t see the proper spot.

Were there any updates to zaptel or libpri? I only saw a few config files and Asterisk files come down from SVN against my existing tree. As a result, I only rebuilt Asterisk. It’s working fine, so should I assume that to be the case?

Is this essentially the same things as

astupd.sh

for those with the standard “ACID” installation?

The changes are in the source tree. but not in the ACID tarball yet.

The astupd script will probably be removed in future releases as it really doesn't accomplish
what I hoped it would do. Any changes to ACID scripts force a version change of ACID and this prevents
astupd from downloading future code updates. Code updates should be done per the instructions on
app_rpt.qrvc.com in the developers section, or using Jim Dixon's method in a prior post.
