Time-based iRules

Nevermind my last request. Given enough time and caffeine, anything is possible. In case anyone in the future would like to accomplish a similar task, here is the code I used:

 

 

when HTTP_REQUEST {
set current_day [clock format [clock seconds] -format {%a} ]
set current_time [clock seconds]
set time_min [clock scan {08:00}]
set time_max [clock scan {17:00}]
if {($current_day == {Sat}) or ($current_day == {Sun})} {
pool after_hours_pool
}
elseif {($current_time < $time_min) or ($current_time > $time_max)} {
pool after_hours_pool
}
}

 

 

Note that my goal was to send traffic to an after-hours server on weekends, before 8 AM, and after 5 PM. Because I did not specify an "else", traffic that does not match these requests passes through the iRule unaffected and is acted upon as though the iRule does not exist at all.
