Temp redirect on certain day

Hi,

 

 

Is it possible with an irule to only redirect the URL on a certain date? Ie, if the site was going to be down only on Sunday I would want the rule to only redirect traffic on that specific date. Is this possible at all?

 

 

Thanks for your help

    Hi,

     

     

    You can retrieve time information based on the clock command.

    If you search the forum, there are several date related examples.
