used. Without a day-list, all days of the week are matched. Time may be specified in 12 or 24 hour format,
with the special time 24:00 indicating the end of the day.
Example: periodic monday 8:00 to friday 17:00 matches between 8am and 5pm, Monday through
Friday.
Example: periodic weekdays 8:00 to 17:00 specifies the same thing as the example in the previous line.
Example: periodic wed 11am to 11pm matches between 11:00 and 23:00 on a Wednesday.
Example: periodic weekend 0:00 to 24:00 matches any time on a Saturday or Sunday.
Example: periodic saturday sunday 0:00 to 24:00 specifies the same thing as the example in the
previous line.
The 'not' keyword may be specified to invert the allow/deny decision.
Example: default allow; not period 23:00 to 6:00 (on 2 separate lines) allows access, except between
11pm and 6am.
Example: period 6:00 to 23:00 is equivalent to the example in the previous line.
l not before [date-and-time]
Specifies an absolute time before which access will always be rejected.
Example: not before 2010-07-01 09:00 matches after 9am on 1 July 2010.
l not after [date-and-time]
Specifies an absolute time after which access will always be rejected.
Example: not after 2011-01-01 00:00 matches before midnight on New Year's Day 2011.
l [not] abs(olute) [start-date-and-time] to [end-date-and-time]
Specifies a start and end interval. The date and time is a format recognized by strtotime(). Times between
the start and end point are matched. The 'not' keyword may be specified to invert the allow/deny decision.
Example: absolute December 25 to December 26 matches all day on Christmas Day each year. (This does
not match on December 26 as midnight on this date is the endpoint of the interval.)
A blank time ACL means "all times are allowed".
