Schedule iRule

Hi Steve,

If you do not want to set the flag you can move the event from CLIENT_ACCEPTED to HTTP_REQUEST (First Example), but if you do want to use a variable you could use the Second Example).

The first example is more efficient (sorry...should have just told you to change the event, but I thought I would show you both).

I would suggest the first example.

 
when RULE_INIT {
 Start of maintenance window in YYYY-mm-dd HH:MM format
set static::start_date "2012-10-12 17:20"

 End of maintenance window in YYYY-mm-dd HH:MM format
set static::end_date "2012-10-12 17:22"

 Convert start/end times to seconds from the epoch for easier date comparisons
set static::start [clock scan $static::start_date]
set static::end [clock scan $static::end_date]
}
when HTTP_REQUEST {
set now [clock seconds]
if { $now > $static::start and $now < $static::end } {
HTTP::redirect "http://www.google.com"
}
}

when RULE_INIT {
 Start of maintenance window in YYYY-mm-dd HH:MM format
set static::start_date "2012-10-12 17:30"

 End of maintenance window in YYYY-mm-dd HH:MM format
set static::end_date "2012-10-12 17:32"

 Convert start/end times to seconds from the epoch for easier date comparisons
set static::start [clock scan $static::start_date]
set static::end [clock scan $static::end_date]
}
when CLIENT_ACCEPTED {
set now [clock seconds]
if { $now > $static::start and $now < $static::end } {
set maintflag "1"
}
else { 
set maintflag "0"
}
}
when HTTP_REQUEST {
if { $maintflag == 1 } {
HTTP::redirect "http://www.google.com"
}
}
