Hi,
If it is helpful, I use a bash script to toggle the on air flags. It
uses rmlsend and a simple array list of the studios I have:
I do this via cron and Rivendell macros if necessary.
#!/bin/bash
#This script turns the on air flag on for a given machine
#It will switch all other machines in the RIVENDELL array to off air
declare -A RIVENDELL #need to declare as associative array
#Rivendell list, amend as necessary [host name]=IP
RIVENDELL=(
[ukstu001]=10.43.13.101
[ukstu002]=10.43.13.102
[ukriv002]=10.43.13.22
[instu001]=10.91.11.17
)
#Switch all machines to off air
for MACHINE in ${!RIVENDELL[@]}; do
rmlsend --to-host=${RIVENDELL[$MACHINE]} TA\ 0\!
done
#If the host exists, switch it on air
if [ ${RIVENDELL[$1]} ]; then
rmlsend --to-host=${RIVENDELL[$1]} TA\ 1\!
logger -t ON_AIR "$1 is now on Air"
fi
To use it I do this:
./onair.sh ukstu001
This will turn every on air flag off for all studios and then turn it on
for only ukstu001
The macro is a simple RN:
RN /home/rivendell/onair.sh ukstu001!

How you use it will depend on your setup and how you want to make
things
work for your station.
Some people will tie the on-air flag into a GPO from their
console, when
the GPO triggers a GPI on Rivendell a macro sets the on-air flag
to on.
You could also set it to trigger in logs and such - for example if
there
are times when your programme audio comes from a remote site
(satellite,
or otherwise) you could have the log trigger to "off". It'll
change the
indicator in RDAirplay (so you can visually see that it is not
currently
on the air for example) and such
Another possibility - if you have 2 studios where either one could
be on
the air - you could set up macros so that when one studio is on
the air
it'll toggle the flag in that studio to on-air, and the flag in the
off-air studio to off air. When you swap studios the macro will swap
the on-air flags appropriately. Then when you generate your report
you'll get what played on air regardless of which studio it came from.
How you use it is up to you and your requirements. My best
suggestion -
set up a test Rivendell installation and try various scenarios out.
