I've been wanting to do the same, but didn't really want the silly thing 
screaming the time all night long so, cron to the rescue!

root at w5omr> crontab -e
0 6-22 * * 1-5 /usr/sbin/asterisk -rx "rpt fun 29655 *81"
0 8-22 * * 0,6 /usr/sbin/asterisk -rx "rpt fun 29655 *81"

The first is to chime the hour, starting at 6am, and ending at 10pm, Mon 
- Fri.
Weekends, we sleep in... start at 8am, end at 10pm, Saturday and Sunday.

At least, that's -one- way of doing it.

I'm sure it was you, Bryan, I have to thank for posting that commands 
could be passed to a running session of asterisk.  That's when the light 
went off.  Cron to the rescue ;-)

This is useful also, if you want to setup times to link to specific 
nodes, at a specific time.  Figure out the schedule and cron it.

Here's a good link if some system operators would like to know about cron
