Turning a module 'on' at a certain regular time?

Let's say you have a group, Registered Users.
Let's say you want them to have access to a certain module BUT only between the hours of 6 and 10 at night, and weekends.

Can this be scheduled automatically?
Any ideas?

Specifically, chat sessions are available only at certain, shcheduled times.

TIA for any ideas.

$now = getdate();
if ($now['wday'] >= 1 and $now['wday'] <= 5 and ($now['hours'] < 18 or $now['hours'] >= 22)) {
   redirect_header(XOOPS_URL, 5, "The chat module is only available on weekends, and between 6PM and 10PM on weekdays.");
}


Reference: PHP function getdate

You just have to insert that code in the appropriate place(s). If it's in more than one place, I suggest putting the code in a function.

The text string in the redirect_header() call should be replaced with a language constant.
