Yes. > and how? (config file, cron-job, etc.) Whatever. You can restrict certain portions of the config file to be operative only at certain times of the day, you can have a cron job completely shut diald down and start it up at specific times. It depends what you mean by "work" - do you mean only bring the link up if receiving network activity during certain times of the day, (and keep the link down unless specifically requested at other times) or do you mean completely give up managing the link (both in terms of bringing it up and taking it down on inactivity) during certain times of the day? Either situation could be done with a config file change, though in the second situation it's better to use a cron job. > i don´t use diald at the moment! it´s only to avoid reading more and more ,-)
