Actually I'm quite happy with picking up the phone and entering an  
extension number that puts the system into shabbat mode, and doing the  
opposite motzi shabbat. What I am looking for is a way of setting a  
presistent variable, so that it knows it is in shabbat mode, and I can  
easily check it in a dial plan.

I'll take the chance that if there is a power glitch, the system will  
reboot in normal mode.

I'm hoping there is something like this for night mode, not everyone  
wants it to happen automatically. After all what happens on the night  
that the receptionist stays late because there is a meeting? Does  
someone have to edit the dial plan?

Thanks, Geoff.
