Hi,
is there an simple way to expose the MMDVM logs in pi-star, so they can be read in realtime on the local network?
Any other hidden API maybe for disconnecting from different modes etc?

Thanks
Mike

Locally...

tail -f /var/log/pi-star/MMDVM*.log

or using SSH across ur network...

ssh [email protected] tail -f /var/log/pi-star/MMDVM*.log

If that doesnt work for you...
first ssh into ur pistar instance, then use the tail command above.

Thanks, yeah I know about those, just wondered if I was missing something. I had a feeling another less popular raspberry pi based MMDVM radio sytem
had some kind of api that could be used for some things like this as well as write access to certain commands.

One other quick question
I can use `sudo pistar-link unlink`
to disconnect from any connection, YSF, DMR, D-Star etc. But the connection is re-established on the network side very quick, I was hoping to disconnect it remotely like this and then be able to blip my radio in another mode and grab that mode.
Does that make sense?

Thanks
Mike
