Back in the day Trixbox bundled an awesome wake up call AGI script however it was removed as the developers thought it to be too much clout. I find this feature to be super useful especially considering my memory is crap, I use it for everything.

There are a million how-to’s out there for those who love dicking around writing your own script, but I don’t have time for that – that’s why I use this.  I have lost this link so many times, it is definitely worth bookmarking.

All you have to do is upload the tgz to your local modules in FreePBX and then click install / enable – no coding, no headaches plus it works very well.

There is one step not documented and it pisses a lot of people off – so if you plan to use this script, run the following as root :

mkdir /tmp/wakeup
chmod 777 -R /tmp/wakeup
chown asterisk:asterisk -R /tmp/wakeup

You now have a hotel quality wake up module – just dial *62.

Enjoy!
