Greetings, As I monitor this list each day, I am constantly struck by the number of questions about Rivendell from new users, legitimate questions for the most part, but a lot having to do with interface with something or making something happen at a certain place in the log or at a certain time.
I really am not being a smart ass when I say this but, learn what Linux can do and Rivendell can do it all! Through the use of the wonderful RML (rivendell macro language) you can do anything you can basically think of because this is not limited to just the routines that Rivendell can do, but any thing you can do from the command line in linux, which makes this as you will come to learn, the most powerful automation software you ever used. One of the most useful and powerful macros is RN which executes a Linux command. This can be a script that does multiple things at once or a very simple single command. I have used this to do all sorts of things throughout our plant including forwarding contact closures from one machine to another, sending a email to my program director every hour telling him he sucks (really should have been every half hour), Point is that these RML commands can be in the log, run at a certain time, by rdairplay or rdcatch. Check out my aircheck solution in the wiki for one example. Point is pretty much can Rivendell do this or that? YES, it might not be turnkey, but if you think about it you can make it happen. -- Tim Camp Director of Operations/Programming Dot Com Plus L.L.C. dba WZEW-FM WNSP-FM Mobile, Al.
