That worked like a charm. I had not used that spec before but that was exactly what I was looking for.
Thanks for the suggestion.

Can't you just use the DOWNTIME specification in bb-hosts for those clients? -Alan

How would that work as you describe? Do I just substitute the days, "yourhobbitserver" with the name or localhost, "yourhobbitclient" with the hostname of the client to disable, "60" with number of minutes to disable it, and then the "Scheduled reboot" would be the cause?
And this cron job would run on the Hobbit server right?
Thanks , Jason

How would I set that in the best way?
Set up a cron job to disable them at those times.
