Yes the time is right Appointment reminder status switch from running to not running when the time come but still calling out

If you root into the server (SSH) and type “date” what is the result? does it match your time zone?

[root@freepbx ~]# date
Mon Apr 16 11:56:16 EDT 2018

Is EDT (UTC-4) your time zone?

YES we are EDT NEW YORK

Check Admin>System Admin>Timezone

Also check Settings>Advanced Settings>PHP Timezone

You might have to reboot for these to take effect, if you change them.

here is the two time settings


Since setting these, has the machine been rebooted? It might be worth trying that, if you can. Another guess would be to try to uninstall and reinstall the module. Short of that, I am stumped. It almost looks like the script that runs appointment reminders is using UTC time.

If you cant reboot or need something quickly while you wait for other ideas, can you just change the appointment reminder campaign times to reflect UTC (i.e. 13:00-21:00)?

HI see i will rebooted tonight but my concern is the status of the appointment reminder goes to Not Running on right time so i don’t understating why it calls when the status is on not running

Thank you for your time

Could be a system issue. What version of Appointment Reminder, FreePBX, Asterisk and OS are you running? You could run updates if you are on older versions, which may resolve issues for you.

Appointment Reminder is also a commercial module. If you open a ticket with Sangoma, they will help you troubleshoot as well. If you figure out a resolution, it would be great to share it here so others with the same issue in the future could see it.

This very much feels like a timezone issue.

You can file a commercial module ticket with https://support.sangoma.com

I did file a support case I’m waiting from them to replay back to me

@comtech Version FreePBX 14.0.2.14 , Asterisk 13.19.1, Appointment Reminder 14.0.1.4 .

Thank you for your time
