Using scheduler to play custom (local) voice announcement

AllStarLink

Hi Guys:

I'd like to play a custom ulaw announcement over my repeater (at say an hourly interval).

This custom announcement is different from my repeater ID.

I see that I can call a macro from the scheduler; I'm not sure whether I can invoke Asterisk's System command directly from a macro, or whether I have to make a call to a local extension that invokes the System command (which then plays my announcement). Hopefully there's an easier way!

Appreciate some guidance.

Thanks!

should just be able to add cron job adding following command
(crontab -e adds cron jobs on my pi3)

  asterisk -rx "rpt localplay <nodenumber>

/directories…/audiofile"

  i think though the audio file will have to be a gsm file, and

leave the extension off the filename in the cron job.

<-- Hi Gregory: Thanks; I am familiar with this method... I was just hoping that I could have taken care of this through app_rpt / rpt.conf so that everything was in one place / backed up and easily recoverable.

Thanks!

Ramesh.
