Help: send-message

[g0lgs]

Hi,

I don't understand how to use the send-message function.

Any complete examples ?

I have tried several things, but it just appears to hang or give me errors:

I can see on aprs.fi that G0LGS-6 tried to reply after it sent the :ack5335

Funny that you post this. I JUST fixed that bug about 10 minutes ago. The fix is in master branch if you know how to use aprsd from git. Otherwise I can publish a new version.

Here is a sample script that I use to send bulletins to aprs

#!/bin/bash

source ~/devel/mine/hamradio/aprsd/.venv/bin/activate

export APRS_LOGIN=REPEAT
export APRS_PASSWORD=YYYYY

aprsd send-message BLN0 Find 3 nearest 2meter repeaters?
sleep 2
aprsd send-message BLN1 Send Message to REPEAT: "nearest 3 2m"
sleep 2
aprsd send-message BLN2 See http://aprs-repeat.hemna.com

I just released v3.4.3 to pypi that has this fix.
