I'm not able to see how you're working with FreeSWITCH in this case.

Is this a bash script that that will call fs_cli -x "some_command"?

Are you trying to set environmental variables in the shell before
starting freeswitch so they will be available to it?

Is this in a bash script that's called from the dialplan?  If so,
consider using the date-time related conditions (year, yday, mon,
mday, week, mweek, wday, hour, minute, minute-of-day, time-of-day,
date-time):

Lastly, there are also time real dialplan tools that might help:

I don't think we'll be able to offer any more help without better
information.  However, we're happy to help if you can get us more
details.


Best,
