<font face="Courier New, Courier">where ringall is the context that
handles ringing X, Y, and Z<br>
ringone is the context hangling ringing Z only<br>
ringvoicemail is the context sending the caller to Voicemail
immediately<br><br>
You can have a cron command like such<br><br>
* 21 * * 1,2,3,4,5 asterisk -rx "database put FEATURE STATUS
3"<br>
* 8 * * 1,2,3,4,5 asterisk -rx "database put FEATURE STATUS
1"<br><br>
This should do what you described below<br><br>
