Dhaval's reply works for when you're running a MeetMe conference directly,
which does not help Bryant (the question was phrased a little oddly, which
caused the confusion I think)....

Regarding how to limit how long the Paging call can be, use the
TIMEOUT(absolute) function. Here's an AEL example:

[paging]
exten => _92XX,1,Noop(Making sure the call only lasts 60 seconds or less)
same => n,Set(TIMEOUT(absolute)=60);
same => n,Page(<insert page targets and options>)

Let me know if that works out for you!

Regarding MeetMe time limiting in general, I'd like to add an alternative to
Dhaval's solution, just to get it back out there in the intertubes so people
can find it in the future.

As of Asterisk 1.6 you can schedule RealTime MeetMe conferences. I've
attached a structure dump of a table called conferences, just direct your
extconfig.conf to use it for meetme, set schedule=yes in meetme.conf, and
then set the start and end times in the table when creating a scheduled
conference.

Cheers all!
