How to use GotoIfTime application on Asterisk Dialplan Context On Oracle Linux 9.3

To Use The GotoIfTime Application On Asterisk Dialplan Context On Oracle Linux 9.3

Inroduction:

This application will set the context, extension, and priority in the channel structure based on evaluating the given time specification. After this application completes, the PBX engine will continue dialplan execution at the specified location in the dialplan. If the current time is within the given time specification, the channel will continue at labeliftrue. Otherwise, the channel will continue at labeliffalse. If the label chosen by the condition is omitted, no jump is performed, and execution passes to the next instruction. If the target jump location is bogus, the same actions would be taken for 'Goto'. Further information on the time specification can be found in examples illustrating how to do time-based context included in the dialplan.

Procedure Steps:

Step 1: Check the OS version by using the below command.

[root@linuxhelp ~]# cat /etc/os-release
NAME="Oracle Linux Server"
VERSION="9.3"
ID="ol"
ID_LIKE="fedora"
VARIANT="Server"
VARIANT_ID="server"
VERSION_ID="9.3"
PLATFORM_ID="platform:el9"
PRETTY_NAME="Oracle Linux Server 9.3"
ANSI_COLOR="0;31"
CPE_NAME="cpe:/o:oracle:linux:9:3:server"
HOME_URL="https://linux.oracle.com/"
BUG_REPORT_URL=https://github.com/oracle/oracle-linux
ORACLE_BUGZILLA_PRODUCT="Oracle Linux 9"
ORACLE_BUGZILLA_PRODUCT_VERSION=9.3
ORACLE_SUPPORT_PRODUCT="Oracle Linux
ORACLE_SUPPORT_PRODUCT_VERSION=9.3

Step 2: Next check the status of Asterisk service by using the Following Commands

[root@linuxhelp ~]# systemctl status asterisk.service
