Sound great!

Yes, absolutely!

In brief, the AGI script handle the prompting, and creates the call
file in a 'pending wakeup calls' directory.  The name of the call file
is formateed as HHMM.EXTEN.call.  The call scheduling is handled by
running the following via cron every minute:

/bin/mv $PENDING/$(/bin/date +%H%M).*.call $OUTGOING/ 2>/dev/null

I haven't figured out yet how to make * wait until the call in answered
before playing a recording (without the recipient pressing #).

Also, I was thinking of adding a snooze feature.  This would require
the outgoing wakeup call to run another AGI that says something like
"to acknowlege the wakeup call, press 1; to snooze 5 minutes, press 2;
to snooze 15 minutes, press 3".

I'll cleanup the AGI and post in the next 24 hours...
