Might have to use a smidgen of Perl or Python for this, unless anyone knows any CLI commands that can do this. Why do you need this functionality, though? Isn't it just a case of enabling access at a certain time, and disabling it at another?

Thanks for the reply
I had looked at iptables, and I will be using them to help filter the content on my computer. As for the timing, this is a shared computer. So I can't just arbitrarily have the system shutdown the internet.
So I need to figure away of determining if the current user is allowed to be using the net at that specific time.
