The weather_data.php script works as a companion to AutoSky.  It is not a replacement.  It uses AutoSky to obtain any information on warnings in your area. 

Go to www.kd8tig.com/downloads and look for the file:  weather_data.tgz.  Then copy it to a directory on your node.  I used /usr/local/sbin.

A cleaner and faster way to get this is to ssh into your node, and in the directory of your choice execute the following command.  I will use my example.

cd /usr/local/sbin

wget http://www.kd8tig.com/downloads/weather_data.tgz

Once you have this file in the /usr/local/sbin directory by using one of these methids do the following:

tar zxvf weather_data.tgz

The resulting file is weather_data.php

If you find that file, you need to make it executable.  To do this type

Chmod + x weather_data.php

 If you are not in the directory where the file exists then include the full pathname to the file such as /usr/local/sbin/weather_data.php

At this point, it's a good idea to test the script in case you encounter any problems.  I went to option 9 on the hamvoip menu which is the Bash shell prompt. and ran the script with a radio turned on to see what happened.

Then you can add a function in the [functions stanza located in rpt.conf to call the script.  It could look something like this.

83=cmd,/usr/local/sbin/weather_data

Once the function is created and files are loaded, go to option 11 on the main menu of the node, which is the asterisk client.

Type

Rpt reload

This reloads rpt.conf

Then, when AutoSky issues a warning, you can press *83 to see what the warning is.  If there are no warnings or watches, invoking the script will report no active watches or warnings.  

You can choose any function.  I chose *83 since *81 and *82 are time and weather related.
