iRule switching when one site is in maintance mode

is it possible via a script or a cron job to allow for switching iRules on and off based on a maintance schedule from one site to another.     JJ

Hamish's suggestion for using an iControl script would probably be the most efficient method. Else, you could also track the current time in the iRule itself and only take a maintenance action during the specific time window(s). Here's an article with examples:
