[Asterisk-Users] Time Based Goto Ifs Act Strange?

[Matt]

Hi,
I'm still in the process of debugging this, but I have a gotoif
statement that looks like this:

exten => 26,1,GotoIfTime(7:00-18:00|mon-fri|*|*?ext-queues,210,1)
exten => 26,n,Goto(ext-local,${VM_PREFIX}127,1)

I have others setup the same way that also seem to have the same
'issue'.  The issue is that they work, but they seem to require (and I
don't understand why) a call to come through to trigger them, before
they will start working.

Example.
I set this one up today.  It routed to queue 210 fine.
No one else was calling this timecondition, as it was a test I setup.
Around 1805 I called it and it went to queue 210.
Called right back and it went to ${VM_PREFIX}127 (or *127 for direct
to voicemail).

I notice this happens with our 'open and close' messages as well.  Any
idea why they seem to require a 'kick start' to work?
