You might want to investigate into crons. I'm not a cron expert myself, nor
do I think RTFM is too clear, but I'm sure your sysadm would be able to help
you... unless you're avoiding that sysadm who goes home at 5... ;)
As for logon area... I take it you want the mud to be up and running, but
not accept logins until 5pm. Seems to me you need to #include time.h and
investigate into that... the nanny function might be the place to look...
ie. add a statement like: if <thie time is not right>, print silly comeback
at 5PM message; return;
Good luck...
