How about put it in the dial plan?  So anytime you try to make an
outbound call it would play a reminder saying that the alternate
greeting is enabled.   You could just use a DB variable.

Why not just add that functionality to the s extension? If no extension
is given, they will end up there, won't they? So if that "I'm not here"
message is set up, and the client picks up the phone, we assume that
he/she is back and thus delete the notification without notice.
