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

[Corporate IT Solutions - Michael Dunne]

Wouldn't it be easier to do time based context?

i.e. - http://www.voip-info.org/wiki/view/Asterisk+tips+openhours

You can drop the Gotoiftime and create contexts for the hours instead.

For example ...

[default]
include => holiday|*|*|25|dec
include => day|09:00-17:30|mon-fri|*|*
include => day|09:00-13:00|sat|*|*
include => night|17:31-8:59|mon-fri|*|*
include => night|13:01-8:59|sat|*|*
include => night|*|sun|*|*
;
;----
[day]
exten => s,1,Wait()
exten => s,n,Answer
exten => s,n,Dial()
...etc
;
;----
[night]
exten => s,1,Wait()
exten => s,n,Answer
exten => s,n,Voicemail()
...etc
;
;----

Just a consideration.
