One way is to use the <tstamp> task with a custom pattern to contain only the hour (in 24hour format). Then using the <if> task (from the ant-contrib project) along with the a condition (like the <isLessThan> and <isGreaterThan> also from ant-contrib or write your own <isInBetween>) to control the setting of a property (called "isLateNight") Do all the above in a depends target and protect the worker targets with if=isLateNight I think that makes sense, Ninju

Would someone have an hint on how to evaluate the current time and set a flag if it is between say : 10 PM and 6:00 AM ? Tx, \T, -- Any fool can write code that a computer can understand.
