I have a shell script that looks for a traffic announcement in
/home/rd/dropbox
if there is one it is renamed with a date-time filename and carted
it is then scheduled to play next
and again in 35 minutes
and again 35 minutes after that.
which suits my needs.
the script is run by cron every 5 minutes from :11 to :48
In one event we had 3 sets of information running simultaneously [It was
a significant event]
I have a version that does it once
item has to be self contained and it just interrupts whatever is on
email me if you want the scripts
regards

What is the criterion to be used to determine whether or not there are
announcements?
I would set up a macro to run an external shell script to determine if
there are announcements; if there are, turn on the TA flag, run the
announements, turn off the flag, and resume normal airplay. If there
are not, then resume normal airplay immediately.
I would have the announcements set up as a Sound Panel button, and use
a STOP transition on the next event following the one that invokes the
shell script.
So: Rivendell starts the shell script and stops. The shell script
determines if there are announcements to be broadcast; if so, it turns
on the TA flag and fires the Sound Panel button for the announcements
using PP, waits for the announcements to finish playing, turns off the
TA flag, and executes PN 1! to resume normal airplay.
