Hello, Is there a way to control the timing so that Adblock is enabled during the weekdays only (In a similar way to how firewall rules work)? I use it to block gaming websites but I want it to do so during workdays only. Thanks in advance ---

just add two cron entries, e.g. ``` # suspend adblock friday night at 00:00 0 0 * * 5 /etc/init.d/adblock suspend # resume adblock sunday night at 00:00 0 0 * * 0 /etc/init.d/adblock resume ``` ---

Thank you @dibdot. You're a star. Shouldn't it be like this: #suspend adblock Saturday night at 00:00 0 0 \* \* 6 /etc/init.d/adblock suspend #resume adblock Monday night at 00:00 0 0 \* \* 1 /etc/init.d/adblock resume The idea would be to suspend at the start of Saturday and finish at the end of Sunday which would be the start of Monday? I don't know much about Crontab so I could be wrong but I read your script as starting Friday and ending at the start of Sunday. ---

Also, if you want Ad block to update, you have to add a **reload** command job as well. ---

Thank you @lleachii Does this look right to you guys? ##suspend adblock Saturday at 00:00 0 0 \* \* 6 /etc/init.d/adblock suspend ##resume adblock Monday at 00:00 0 0 \* \* 1 /etc/init.d/adblock resume && /etc/init.d/adblock reload ---

Yes, that should update your Adblock once per week. ---
