[K12OSN] OT: Limit Network Access by time

[Jim Kronebusch]

I am currently using IPCop and Dansguardian for the routing and content
filtering.  I was hoping for an easy way to add time based filtering to
this setup.  I would like to not have to scrap what I just set up and
move to squid, but I will if I have too.  Since IPCop is in a sense its
own distro I am not sure what tools are bundled with it.  

Your suggestion was the closest to fixing what I currently have but for
my knowledge cron may not be as "easy" as I hoped.

Jim - I didn't know squid could be configured to be time aware.  Since
it has that capability I want to change my vote. :-)

If you are already using Squid, then I think you would be better off to
use its capabilities to manage your students acces by time of day.

For cron, some distros havea gui tool for adding cron jobs to the
system.
