Using the asterisk database and a crontab will get what I want done.

RE: [asterisk-users] RE: By week extension dialing
One possibility is to use STRFTIME to get the week (of year) number, and
GotoIf based on that. Untested code, but something like:
Set(WeekOfYear=${STRFTIME(,,%W)})
GotoIf($[${WeekOfYear}%4=0]?x)

RE: [asterisk-users] RE: By week extension dialing
Brent, thank you for the reply. I think I asked my question incorrectly. I'm looking to setup a single extension that changes the number it goes to each week. If this extension was called on week 1, it would go to number 1, if called on week 2 then dial number 2, week 3 dial number 1 and so forth. So for any miscommunications.

I do a similar thing with wakeup calls - a cron job puts a call file into the above dir that rings my phone each weekday morning.

Dan, Try a cron job to place a call file into /var/spool/asterisk/outgoing (I think, sorry, don't have access to that machine right now). I do a similar thing with wakeup calls - a cron job puts a call file into the above dir that rings my phone each weekday morning. There's no reason you couldn't have a cron job put unique call files based on what week it is to call a specific number. ---SNIP--- >I found the function GotoIfTime but I'm not sure how to apply it to >weekly (instead of mapping out the actual days, 1-7, 8-15, etc). > >Any ideas? > >Thank you, >Dan ---SNIP--- Sincerely, Brent A.
