Perl Time clock

14
Hi

I need to switch on/off a post function in a Perl script between the hours of say ten to nine O Clock the following day this will stop the sending of SMS messages.

What is the best way to go about this?

Thanks

Easy! Turn the script off from say ten pm till 9 am each night.

QED :)

And if that doesn't work, maybe something like:

Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers
  1. my $h = (localtime)[2];
  2. print $h;
  3. if ($h > 20 || $h < 10) {
  4.    exit;
  5. }
