Hi,

you can try this (simple and functional):

when CLIENT_ACCEPTED {
    set START_OFF_TIME [clock scan "01:00 AM"]
    set END_OFF_TIME [clock scan "05:00 AM"]
}

when HTTP_REQUEST {
set now [clock seconds]

if { ( $now > $START_OFF_TIME ) && ( $now < $END_OFF_TIME ) } {
    HTTP::redirect "http://www.xyz.com/maintenancepage/"
    TCP::close
 }
}
