Thank you Geoff for the help, that makes sense.
Does anybody know how to have an hourly announcement with an audio file? I have heard of scripts or something, but I don't know how to script for it, where can I get started with scripting in ACID?
Again, late to the party, but I have an answer. Hourly announcement is where I let the OS work for me. It involves using the 'cron' command in linux. (lots of references on how cron is used. Google is your friend) My cron entry is: 0 6-22 * * 1-5 /usr/sbin/asterisk -rx "rpt fun 29655 *81" What that basically says is, on the 0 minute, from 6am to 10pm, every day of the month, every day of the week, on days 1 thru 5, run the command 'asterisk -rx', which tells asterisk to connect to a running session and execute a specific command. Hope that helps. -Geoff/W5OMR
