You're going to write 4 shell scripts:

#1: Disconnect via 81
#2: Connect via 83
#3: Disconnect via 31 to echolink
#4: Connect via 33 to echolink

All are of the format:

--
#!/bin/bash

/usr/sbin/asterisk -rx "rpt cmd node_from ilink [83|81|33|31] node_to#"

--

Then edit your crontab (as root) to run the scripts at the proper time.

29 07 * * 1-5 /wherever_you_place_your_script/name_of_script_1.sh
30 07 * * 1-5 /wherever_you_place_your_script/name_of_script_4.sh
00 08 * * 1-5 /wherever_you_place_your_script/name_of_script_3.sh
01 08 * * 1-5 /wherever_you_place_your_script/name_of_script_2.sh

I left a minute between each pair, just because I don't like executing 
simultaneous scripts that change the state of the system multiple states 
in parallel.  That's just me.  Make sure you have a line of MAILTO="" at 
the top of your crontab unless you like getting an email message every 
time a script is executed.

Oh, and make sure the scripts you write have perms of 755 (RWXR-XR-X) or 
equivalent.

There are other ways, especially if you've assigned DTMF functions to 
these individual scripts in the rpt.conf file...

As always, there are multiple ways to do it.  All you can do is what you 
feel comfortable working with that works.
