[Asterisk-Users] Wake-Up Call

[gw at adcomcorp.com]

Something to think about is this too, when completed scheduling, ask
would you like to notify another extension, so if the first does not
answer in two attempts, ring a cell phone or such. 

But I cannot complain, I use the wakeup call function every day, and it
is definitely better than any alarm clock or pbx reminder available.

That particular script appears to only schedule for the next 24 hours.
It could do more but it doesnt.  I was going to write a php one that
doesnt work quite this way.  Instead I was going to take advantage of
features of the queue app so you dont need a seperate cron job, namely
setting the time of the queue file to the time you want the wake up
call.  I was also going to add in features to record a custom message,
and other such goodies.  They arent complex features, but I think would
make it nicer.

But this is low priority for me right now.  Between the Sac AUG and ETEL
speaking engagements this month along with regular work I am unsure that
I will have time until feburary.

I hadnt thought about recurring ones, that would be better handled via a
crontab type setup I think than creating a ton of queue files.  You
could easily do this, just a matter of storing who, when, how
frequently, and then creating the queue files on time.  

If you are using the one I think you are then if you enter it in 24 hour
format and the time is > 12 it can tell that you mean 24 hour format,
hwoever it cant tell teh difference bewteen 12hr and 24hr if the time is
< 12 so it asks.
