exten => 001,1,DBPut(FEATURE/STATUS=1)
exten => 001,2,Hangup
exten => 002,1,DBPut(FEATURE/STATUS=2)
exten => 002,2,Hangup
exten => 003,1,DBPut(FEATURE/STATUS=3)
exten => 003,2,Hangup
[inbound]
exten => s,1,DBGet(STATUS=FEATURE/STATUS)
exten => s,2,GotoIf($[${STATUS} = 1]?ringall,s,1)
exten => s,3,GotoIf($[${STATUS} = 2]?ringone,s,1)
exten => s,4,GotoIf($[${STATUS} = 3]?ringvoicemail,s,1)
exten => s,5,NoOp(STATUS is UNSET, please set STATUS immediately by dialing 001,002, or 003)
exten => s,6,Hangup
where ringall is the context that handles ringing X, Y, and Z
ringone is the context hangling ringing Z only
ringvoicemail is the context sending the caller to Voicemail immediately
You can have a cron command like such
* 21 * * 1,2,3,4,5 asterisk -rx "database put FEATURE STATUS 3"
* 8 * * 1,2,3,4,5 asterisk -rx "database put FEATURE STATUS 1"
This should do what you described below
