That is the method that we are currently using. It works fine when we are talking about only 3 variations on the alias. Currently I have files for weekday, weekend day and evening and run a crontab script at 0800 and 1600 daily. The problem I now have is that as we add staff with flexible work schedules that simple scheme starts to get very complicated very quickly. What I was hoping for was something that could assist me with the administration of this task but it does not look like there is anything like what I a looking for. In the long run we are looking at probably implementing a ticketing system but I just do not have the time to do the evaluation, selling and implementation at this point. Thanks for your comments, they are appreciated.
