This sounds like a perfect use for the astdb and channel variables You would setup an extension that when you dial executes DBPut(Flags,NightMode=Yes) and then have your incoming context execute DBGet(nightmode=Flags/NightMode) and then use GotoIf to check if the channel variable nightmode = yes and if so then jump to your night mode context James _______________________________________________ Asterisk-Users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users
