A module to look up time of day and issue a 503 when the server is unavailable would be a trivial job. My book includes a module to grant access based on date, but that's basically a demo of apache's AAA framework, and does more than you want. It should also be possible with mod_rewrite, but that looks much harder to me, because of the date/time arithmetic. mod_rewrite would have to check the time and redirect conditionally to a 503 page. -- Nick Kew Application Development with Apache - the Apache Modules Book http://www.apachetutor.org/ --------------------------------------------------------------------- The official User-To-User support forum of the Apache HTTP Server Project.
