Speaking clock to page group once an hour

General Help
1

I’m sure this is probably pretty simple, but I’m not wrapping my brain around it right now.

What I’d like to do is have the speaking clock app (*60) or something similar automatically announce the time to a particular page group once an hour.

Hints and tips appreciated.

Cheers,
Mike

Call files and a cron job

0 * * * * /yourscript

I’ve used callfiles for a couple of things before and that was my first thought…

so I use
channel: Local/[email protected]

to direct it to page group 399… but what keyword do I use in the callfile to specify the *60 to link to the speaking clock?
