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!<br>
<br>
root@w5omr> crontab -e<br>
0 6-22 * * 1-5 /usr/sbin/asterisk -rx "rpt fun 29655 *81"<br>
0 8-22 * * 0,6 /usr/sbin/asterisk -rx "rpt fun 29655 *81"<br>
<br>
The first is to chime the hour, starting at 6am, and ending at 10pm,
Mon - Fri.<br>
Weekends, we sleep in... start at 8am, end at 10pm, Saturday and
Sunday.<br>
<br>
At least, that's -one- way of doing it.<br>
<br>
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 ;-)<br>
<br>
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.<br>
<br>
Here's a good link if some system operators would like to know about
cron<br>
