[App_rpt-users] Using scheduler to play custom (local) voice announcement

[Ramesh Dhami]

Hi Guys:

I'd like to play a custom ulaw announcement over my repeater (at say an 
hourly interval).

This custom announcement is different from my repeater ID.

I see that I can call a macro from the scheduler; I'm not sure whether I 
can invoke Asterisk's System command directly from a macro, or whether I 
have to make a call to a local extension that invokes the System command 
(which then plays my announcement). Hopefully there's an easier way!

Appreciate some guidance.

Thanks!
