I can't think of a type of script which would cause Xastir to reload its config file.
However you can send it a "SIGHUP" which will cause it to shut down and then
restart again.
SIGHUP Shut down/restart
SIGUSR1 Take a snapshot
SIGUSR2 Transmit now
I have a temperature sensor, and I want to write the shack temperature into the
comments of the config file, then launch, so the beacon transmitted at startup
has the temperature (and maybe more) in it.
Perhaps a better method: Set up a script to call "xastir_udp_client" with the packet you
want to send. "xastir_udp_client" will send a UDP packet to Xastir which can then
transmit it.
// Send a UDP packet to a UDP listening port. This allows scripts
// and other programs to inject packets into Xastir via UDP
// protocol.
// Inputs:
// hostname (argv[1])
// port (argv[2])
// callsign (argv[3])
// passcode (argv[4])
// optional flags: -identify
// -to_rf
// -to_inet
// APRS Packet (argv[5])
// Returns:
// 0: Message sent, ack received
// 1: Error condition
You'll need to turn on "server ports" in Xastir to have it catch these packets.
