To Update - I have had no time to investigate this further, but I have put the following in place that works great for the purpose at hand, which is to return an outage page between 0200 and 0600 on Saturdays.

 

 

when HTTP_REQUEST {

 

set l [split [clock format [clock seconds] -format {%A %H}] " "]

 

 

if { ([lindex $l 0] eq "Saturday") &&

 

([lindex $l 1] >= 02) &&

 

([lindex $l 1] < 06) } {

 

 

HTTP::respond 200 content " -snip- Maintenance

 

text=800517>

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

- snip - is temporarily unavailable.

 

 

 

- snip - will be available again at 6:00am.

 

 

We are sorry for any inconvenience. "

 

}

 

}

 

 

This rule won't even compile if a "08" or "09" is used, but again, I don't need it to at the moment.

 

 

Thanks to all for the suggestions. If you have additional suggestions I greatly appreciate it!
